He probably should have a pint of blood on hand just in case....

Maybe Bill should have told his wife what could happen if he drops this pocket hatchet while he is shaving naked or not.
if anything has been abnormal for a long enough period it then becomes normal.

Thanked: 1Did you create this rough shape yourself, or did you have it custom made?
It'll get a little more done than a dremel...
If you wanted to make a custom kife, K&G has kits that can be finished up with hand tools. You may want to get a catalog from them.

So I would start with high carbon steel (not yet heat treated?) and take away everything that is not 'knife'.
If the shape would match what I want it to be close enough, could I use a dremel?
I am a bit worried that the heat from the grinding would do bad thing to the steel.
Btw, does that belt sander of yours generate much heat in the steel?

I think I can answer this one so ol' Bill doesn't wear out his fingers. They're needed for more knives/razors
1) That's why you start with steel that has not been heat-treated. Any heat generated in the metal removal process won't ruin the temper.
2) You'd have to have a hand steadier than a ward full of surgeons to do this kind of work with a rotary tool. Don't bother.
3) Burr King is a variable speed tool and as you can see Bill sets the speed close to the minimum which increases his work precision and reduces heat generation.
