    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.

    Did you create this rough shape yourself, or did you have it custom made?
    I bought the annealed ATS-34 steel from K&G in Arizona. The bar of steel measured 1/4 X 1 1/2 X 36 inches. I cut off six inches of it and ground away everything that didn't look it belonged there with this...



    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.

    I'll send him a big bottle of Hot Stuff(R) CA and a book on stitching

    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.
