It's near the end of the post, but the stamp came out great. I was really happy with it. The most exciting part for me when using G-10 for the handle is matching it with paracord. I'm not sure why, but I love that little added piece.
Oh my god I would love this general aesthetic for a chef's knife! Do you know how badass it would be cooking with that kind of thing? ESPECIALLY with that handle?! Oh goodness I want it! I want it NAO! xD
Thanks, man. I've used them and saw blades in the past, but I would rather use 5160 or 1080 in bar stock than one of those, because you can't tell that they were a mower blade or saw blade. I mean they are both good steel, since saw blades are usually L-6 and mowers are 5160 or a quality steel along those lines. But it just isn't worth the trouble for me. Now if there was a way I could do it and it visibly showed what it use to be without me having to tell people what it was, then I would. But for me that defeats the purpose of my Remnant knives. I have a lot of fun watching people guess what each knife is and all of that. You'd have gotten along great with my grandfather though. He loved doing that kind of stuff and would never use barstock.
The cool thing about circle saw blades is the carbide tip that you can leave on some knives though. It was always a neat little thing, but still most people didn't get what it was even when I left that on there.
