The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

Knife made 1980 (age 17)
Second knife I made, age 17, 1980 (made my first one when I was 15, but that one is lost). Made entirely with hand tools.
Scrounged a car leaf spring from the local tip, cut/broke it in half, heated one half of the spring red hot in the kitchen fire, and hammered it flat on the concrete back porch with dad's Estwing. Cut / shaped the annealed steel with files and hacksaw. Blade bevels were draw filed flat, then sanded. Heat treated at the local foundry for $5.
Hidden tang, epoxied in place, brass guard, handle is apricot from up the Waitotara valley. Overall length 249 mm, blade length 126 mm, blade thickness at spine 5.4 mm. HRC 48.
Got all rusty and pitted because my brother used it as a saltwater fishing knife - if he hadn't stashed it in his fishing box it most likely would have been thrown out while I was at uni. I reclaimed it from him in 1986.Last edited by Wurzelmangler; 08-04-2023 at 10:04 PM.
