and this, my friends is how you make a knife for literally 4 dollars worth of old junk and a little bit of time. i am the first to admit that it isnt a masterpiece, but it is sharp as hell and i am pretty sure i cant break it...unless i am trying to actually break it. also, i checked to see if it would fit a mora plastic sheath, and it does.
