Thanks guys, took me almost 40 years but can say I found something I truly love doing. Now if I can make it into a post retirement revenue generator, or just keep it as a self funding hobby I have 7 years and counting to find out. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Here is a breadknife I made for the wife. Rougher than a cob finish-wise, but that's how she likes em. It's not pretty but it'll slice the hell out of loaf, roll, bagel, whatever. I bet it'd take the head off a mohammedan if push came to shove. This was a blade I had rattling around in the drawer, had taken a bad warp and so I shucked it for later use. Pulled it out and decided to see what I could do with it, as a lot of guys don't like guards on their fixed blades. Turned out pretty neat, have one on order actually after showing it around for opinions with some buddies.

Here's a spatula I made for my wife. Hammered out of a farrier's rasp. Kinda heavy but it works. . Thinking about sharpening one of the long edges.

Nice, but don’t count on the revenue.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Nice, but don’t count on the revenue. Not listed for sale, nor made with the that intention.

Gruff.........for arguments sake, let's say a guy found some old files, etc in his grandfather 's shop and wanted to make a blade for the next generation. something you'd do?
