I started 2 more today (finished pictures added)

This is a small skinner and what will be my 2nd friction folder. I cut them out of a 7 1/4" saw blade that I think is possibly carbon steel (a little bit of rust on it). I anealed them after I cut them out.

I have made a few full tangs out of stainless blades but never a carbon blade. Is ther anything I should know about epoxying or pinning with carbon steel?

Thanks

Hi Woodsman,   Epoxying and pinning of stainless or carbon is the same,  be sure to leave the mating surfaces rough and clean with acetone before assembly,  hope this helps.

I have finished the full tang. The scales are maple, I did a little file work on the back. The pics arent that great because I am using a camera phone.
