Another knife

[Shovelbuck]

Gotta tell you guys this....I can't thank those of you enough that sent me Osage and Mulberry pieces! I've gotten so much use from that wood.
I was out in the shop a couple Saturdays ago and came across a knife blank that I had roughed to shape a year and a half ago. So I got after it and by evenings end I'd finished this knife. Pretty similar to the ones from two summers ago. I don't claim these to be your "Sunday Go To Meeting" knives but they are good work horses. The type of knife that you can gut your deer, wipe the blade off on your pant leg and peel a bunch of taters with. A working mans knife!
I've got a primitive bone knife planned for the next build then I think a large bowie with Osage handle will be on the list.

2 questions.

1, what kinda steel, somehting exotic or just some random piece you picked up?

2, do you use any kind of adhesive along with the brass rivets to hold the wood or just the rivets?

The steel is from a two foot, 100 plus year old buzz saw blade.
I do also use a clear epoxie.

Are saw blades from that era the same steel throught the blade? Now days and I don't know for how long, the hard surface of the tooth is actually welded on so the body of the blade can be a softer steel. I'm not sure if I am using the right term here, but would the maker of the saw blade have tempered the whole blade or just the tooth area?

Very nice piece of newly made old history.
