not that bad to do as the steel is surprisinly good quality for cast 2 hrs work so far tools used 9" grinder with 1.6mm thk disc 4.5" grinder with ceriun flapdisc and an old wolf straight grinder with an 80 grit flapwheel the others should be easier cheers

got a 2nd one started today its a thinner blade so had to watch the heat input its not such a good casting finish so will take a bit more work still to make lanyards and finish helves but it WILL shave hair impressed it is only 0.75kg from a start of 1.35kg have tried to show them both beside my little gerber will also have to make covers they will be sent with the boys to camp next week for testing BY adults and senior scouts if they are all right will make 3 more with the troop numbers on them any ideas for paracord lanyards or some wrapping cheers
