need some help...

[pvtcamo]

Hi, all...

I got a new project, and I need your help.

I have an old meat cleaver I wanna transform to a knife. The design is (as you can see) Tom Brown's Tracker (or older WSK).

The blade thickness is 5mm (cca. 1/5").

My question is: How to cut this?? What would be the best way to do it??



The cleaver (red lines - cutting lines; green lines - sharpening lines)

Any of you wanna do some pro bono work??

use a brand new cutting disc on an angle grinder (preferably a thin disc) and cut a little over sized, say 4mm. Then very carefully grind the rest of the metal away with a new grinding disc being careful not to over heat it. I say to use new discs coz they are more aggressive and build up heat less quickly

Or anneal it and cut out however you like, then re heat treat it. That's assuming you have those facilities

looks like it will make a great skinner
