hehe...got a few shives in me toolbox made from hackies......they make good lock picks too

I have made a couple of these in the past...without the gut hook...I prefer a longer handle whipped in paracord for comfort and I also used to grind off the saw teeth as they were pretty useless for my needs.

I will be good, I promise! Watched to many Ninja films recently has effected my brain.

Really like that idea!

Shame you cannot get the 1" ones anymore. Then you could have a back up knife, stored somewhere.

Found some.... Interesting.

That's a great idea .
I made this wee folding saw out of an old HS blade , very like this one sold by County Comm, and keep it in my tool box.

that looks pretty cool pubb - I carry a tops survival saw myself - similar idea just a little larger

 

[PRKL]

And with carbide steel drill bit you could add a second hole to its handle,making it easy to put some tiny micarta handles...hmm....

Be wary of cheapo blades they are very brittle I know I used to sell them!!!
Spend a few bob on a draper or the like

Just a thought, how about a reciprocating saw blade?
I use them for work. They have a hole and the bimetal blades are super flexible.
The lennox and bosch blades are excellent and the wood blades are very sharp and last well.

Hi don't forget as stated in County Comm link the blade wants to have the teeth facing you so as to cut on the pull, then is self tensioning

i had better get some hacksaw blades then lol! i have those little junior hacksaw blades... bit too small i suppose.. there's a blunt one sitting in the kitchen actually... hmmm..

 

[PREPER]

Good idea, off to have a play!

PREPER.............

the old one was too rusty, so i used a new one took a while to sharpen but the edge can almost shave now.


i think ill "borrow" some old hacksaw blades from school and make a bigger one.

 

[QDanT]

But okenest: it would still saw better on the pull stroke i.e. the teeth facing towards you cheers Danny

Anyone made a knife usin an old power hacksaw blade? Heard of it being done and fancy making a little carving knife. I don't have a grinder, but i've got plenty of files. Would this be a managable project? And could I get away without heat treating it?
Cheers

there already HTed so should be all right.
i made another one but i think this blade was cheap because it snapped a couple of times and still wont take a decent edge.
i best get a more pricey one to try...
