Thread: How should I sharpen/modify this "blank"?

Well I am not sure how hard the steel is, it was a Swedish stainless steel kitchen knife. It has been heat treated.

I like the pin idea, but I need to find a source I have access to. Maybe I'll hit the local hardware stores to see what they have that might fit the bill.

They should have tubing at your hardware store that you can cut a slot in with your dremel and epoxy on the blade. You never know the blade may work. I like jimping, but with thinner tangs it seems less necessary. Don't forget to taper the tang so the scales are under tension. If you have no experience with straights try to avoid sharp points.
