The Saw Blade Knife - How to Make a Knife from a Saw blade

Thanks to Worksharp and the Drill Doctor for sponsoring this Saw Blade to Knife Build!

Today I'm building a custom knife from an old circular saw blade with no tempering required! In the video I go over how I cut out the knife blank from the saw blade, ground the blade profile, built the handle and sharpened it to an edge that will cut paper! This was a super fun build and hope it inspires you to make something new out of something old ;)
Please let me know if you have any questions!

That turned out really well! The mesquite handle looks great, and I agree on the aesthetics of the hollow pins. Awesome job!

I worked in a sawmill and made many knives for the mill workers. One day the boss told me to stop as one knife was pulled on someone at a pub the same day I made it. Haven't made one for many years now. Nice work, I may need to make one myself. Loved the hollow pin idea.

That was therapeutic to watch. For anyone puttering around the house looking for something to do, this looks like a great project.

Very cool, I made a knife in high school metal shop out of a leaf spring but this seems like a great project to do with my two daughters. Now I just need to get them into the shop again. Thank you for sharing, God Bless, stay safe and be well.

It's ingenious idea to make knife out of saw blade and it looks strong. Wow nice and great skills.

[eltee]

I may or may not ever make knife in the future. Who knows what the future holds. I wasn't planning on being at home this past week either. But, your videos are always a great inspiration. Keep them coming.

[BarnStangz]

I'm going to save my saw blades from now on! What a great way to repurpose something. Now I want to make a kitchen knife! Thanks for sharing sir.

[HoustonRryda]

I hope you quarter an elk with that next season.I appreciate your content and craftsmanship.

Another great project, Joe. Stay safe out there on the front lines. Hope and pray your family fares well during these unusual times. Never thought I'd be so busy on the farm during retirement, but everyone wants eggs and I'm planting more gardens to assure an adequate supply of food in the local area.

[Crewsy]

That turned out really nicely.
Clearly the saw blade was bigger than I originally thought when I commented on Instagram. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[johnreinburg]

Joe, you are very inspirational and of course very talented! You gave me the inspiration, now to work on my confidence.

[Zekitaser]

You are doing great jobs. Your working area is so comfortable. As your fan I’m waiting for more videos🙏🏻😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Nice work! Nothing "wrong" with using old saw blades or other tool steels for blades. I'd still re-quench the blade once it was profiled though. Use a torch to heat up just the "edge" and quench it in some preheated oil, then sand it clean again and temper it in an oven for a couple hours to get the best possible edge.

[rostamr]

I like how detailed your videos are, and I can learn from them. Thanks

[tonygreen]

This one was awesome! I have some saw blades that I have kept for this reason. But never quite knew how exactly to do this. Now I know. Thank you!

[TheHobbyShop]

I dig that a lot. I may just have try it. I always stayed away from it because I thought you needed a forge. I have the same sharpener already and some old saw blades laying around. Thanks for the informative and educational video.
