That was made from a power hacksaw blade. I have made a few in my time. They are usual M2 or close to that. Some are an alloy as they get to the newer technology but I prefer M2 for knife making. Your uncle was definitely talented. I work at GM Kokomo as a millwright but play a doctor on TV.For many years one of my uncles was the head tool and die maker at GM truck and bus downtown, about 40 years ago he made this from a old bandsaw blade made for cutting very thick Steel. Very light and very sharp kind of a family heirloom. And one of my German Shepards thrown in
I can't blame you for loving something your life depended on. Like a duty gun for Police Officers. There are sexier things but when you depend on something for your life, and it has always been dependable. It has earned respect.I daily carry a Gerber 425 E-Z-OUT that was issued to me when I deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. It will be with me until the day I take my last breath. Then passed to one of my children.
