How to Make a Fillet Knife from Old Rusty Saw Blade

I had a great time taking an old and destroyed piece of saw blade and giving it new life. This video will take you step by step through my process. If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact.

The first knives I tried to make were like this. I had an old two man crosscut saw. I cut 5 sections out for fillet knives. The first one I caught the tip in the belt grinder and destroyed the blank. The second one I tried to grind out the pitting in the blade and the spine was too thin. The third and fourth ones I ground the pitting out and I put quarter sawn sycamore on for the scales. It's a little soft but a gorgeous grained wood. The last one I soaked in Evapo-Rust then ground enough to get bare metal but I left the pitting in it. I cold blued it. It makes a distinctive blade with lots of character. That steel is some of the hardest steel I've ever tried to drill. I gave up trying to drill 3/16" holes and drilled 1/8". Still took forever to get through.

What was the thickness of that steel? And what kind of steel was it? Thanks for the great video

[@ironridgeoutdoors]

@@Unclelarry766abc thank you. I don't remember the exact thickness, but I'm guessing the blade steel is 15n20.
