I had a blade helicopter and it hit my fingers. Luckily for me it was the back unsharpened part of the blade!

Just getting started on this Bronze San Mai blade. I think it's going to look amazing!

Agree.

Made some progress today. The fuller is coming along and looks better in person. The saw teeth are still kicking my @$$! I do love the way all the bevels on the tanto point are lining up though!

Well, I started off with a mill bit in my drill press which was not working at all. Then I did some work with a diamond bit in my Foredom flex shaft. It's just an expensive Dremel. It still wasn't doing what I wanted. I ended up taking a piece of hardened steel and using it for a guide. I...

I agree on the stress risers. I really want to get a file in there and round out the sharp inside edges.

Well...the two things I've never done have kicked my butt! The fuller is not terrible but needs some more work. The saw teeth on the other hand are a horrible mess. I started out on my bandsaw and there was too much blade play. Then I went to an angle grinder. Looks like crap! Oh well, I'll...

Thanks! So many new things for me on this one. I'm always up for a challenge...

Crocs...no words...

Very cool and interesting project! Following!

Anyone have suggestions for making the fullers? I don't have a mill and have failed in the past with my small wheels on the grinder.

...makes my wife think I cut myself. That's always good for a laugh!

I just like the red better. It flows better than the blue I have and dries quicker. No really serious reason.

Got back in the shop for a couple of hours today. I coated the blade in layout fluid, marked my lines and hit the grinder. All of this is preliminary freehand grinding on a 36 grit belt. I will refine it on a 60 and then 80 grit before heat treatment. Comments and advice are appreciated so I...

Good looking work on all of those!
