I did it by eye. I made it from the outer ring of a bearing (which is why my blade is 5 mm thick). I cut it in half, heated up one half, and forged it into a straight flat bar. Then I cut out the shape using an angle grinder (the teeth on the spine of the blade and fitted the shape for the handle) and sharpened the blade on a bench grinder. I made the holes in the blade using a drill press.

There is no question I would severely hurt myself with that thing.
Nice work! Assuming this isn’t scaled, that must have been a big bearing.
@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world would likely approve, or at least have some interesting musings.
That was a fun user profile to scroll through and makes me want to go back to practising knife sharpening with a grindstone again instead of just using cheap easy knife sharpeners
Wow well done! Just finished all three games in anticipation of the launch of Metro 2039 in February!
That’s some damn fine work. Someday I’d like to do the same to make my perfect kitchen knife.
Cool. Though I’ll say that because of my sibling; the name is F’artyom. Even better when he started using the shortened version of Art. How’s it going, F’Art. =)
That’s awesome! I don’t understand the measurement scale pictured, though. How many bananas is that?
That’s a 20 cm (8-inch) ruler. The knife itself is 30 cm (12 inches). I put it there just for scale.
I was joking haha
