a knife i made

as you all know, i like to make things, and i like knives, so it was normal that sooner or later a made a knife. i have made several others, including some throwing knives. but most of them were more like machetes.
i made a knife from a peice of angle iron. i cut it out with a hack saw, and then used a grinder to shape it more. it is kinda dirty in the picture, cause i was throwing it, and missed a lot. the handle is made from lacing for the super cub, airplane. the stuff used to sew the covering together.
i still need to temper it. but i have to wait till the welder gets set up.

it is only sharp on one side all the way down, but the tip is sharp on both sides for about an inch down.
