I just got this one done today. I call it the YODA knife because I got all the stuff to make it from Kenny Yoder(4runr). Blade is from a old sawmill blade and the handle spalted redoak both came from kenny. Blade has been heat treated. This is as close to a copy of a Robtattoo knife he had posted on the sponsers page. I love his knives and find myself copying his knives LOL sorry Rob. So what ya think?<>< (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN2428.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN2427.jpg)

Terry
Done well, you have, Frank... :bigsmyl:
I don't normally spend much time looking at knifes, but that one really grabs my attention. Wow!
Beautiful ..it is !
Hey Frank, that is fantastic. How do you finish the blade, i like the way it looks slightly pitted. Hopefully its not an ancient family secret. Thanks, Jack
Shuckin's - and I thought you'd gone and named a knife after me , seeing as how "Yoda" is what Vermonster dubbed me during the Auction. Oh well, Kenny Yoder is good folks and deserves sumpin' sharp named after him - :jumper:
Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!! old sawmill blades make some fine knives :thumbsup:
That is one great looking knife that owes its existence to two great guys!!! :bigsmyl:
Frank
Very nice Frank.

The force is strong in this one.
One of the very best I've ever seen!

Thanks Guys. kenny I would send it to ya but I just know ya would cut yerself LOL<><
Very Nice Frank :thumbsup:
The way I understand it Frank, that's not something I would need to worry about! :bigsmyl:
ya gone and went there! Trust me this one is sharp LOL<><
SWEET! I need to learn to make something like that....or get to know someone who does! :)
Nice work.
I know, bro, just funnin! You sure didn't waste any time gettin into that box-o-stuff.
It is so fun seein pieces of stuff leavin Ohio, then, a few days later bein pieces of Fine Art.
How is the steel in that batch? I tried to cut some my usual way and dang that stuff is hard.
Just to add a little perspective to what the artist is doing.
Just a few days ago the materials he used to create the knife looked like this;

I really like the wood grain in that handle, sweet knife!
kenny the RC on the steel before I heat treated it was RC48. I gotta check it and see what it is when it is treated. Heat it up and let it cool slow and then cut it.<><
One mans junk, Frank can turn into a jewel! :thumbsup: Great job!
Brent
Yep. I need to get me a better heating source!
Thanks Brent. Kenny here are a few more I did. The hardest thing for me is getting them sharp. Heck I can't get a new knife sharp as tippit gets his. But these will cut and seem to hold a edge. Steve (Highpockets) makes a great knife from sawblades. <>< (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN2432.jpg)
