Finally a use for the those VF flat rate boxes of chain. Cool craftsmenship there for sure.

I got several loops of safety chain on a HD 6401 purchase a few years back. Id never run it on a saw, but it might make a fine blade.

That's one talented sum'bich right there, I have a good friend who's been making knives for years and has just got into pattern welding, maybe I'll try and get him to make me one?

Good video...talented.

 

[Hinerman]

Looks like you can see some of the links and rivets in the blade. Waiting on Don to chime in.

He did a good job there. It's hard to forge all the inclusions & flaws out of a chain billet. Chain will make a decent blade, but not all the parts of a chain are the best steels for a blade.

I make a lot of damascus (pattern welded steel), but have only used chain a couple times and that was years ago. I do have a lot of old chains that I plan to weld up at some point.

Every chainsaw nut should have at least one knife made from saw chain.

And that little touch of yellow in the handle. I can't even sharpen a knife that sharp I like the idea I'd have to use worn out chain
