I did it by eye. I made it from the outer ring of a bearing (which is why my blade is 5 mm thick). I cut it in half, heated up one half, and forged it into a straight flat bar. Then I cut out the shape using an angle grinder (the teeth on the spine of the blade and fitted the shape for the handle) and sharpened the blade on a bench grinder. I made the holes in the blade using a drill press.

Nice work! Assuming this isn't scaled, that must have been a big bearing.

@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world would likely approve, or at least have some interesting musings.

    That was a fun user profile to scroll through and makes me want to go back to practising knife sharpening with a grindstone again instead of just using cheap easy knife sharpeners
