    Very cool idea, well done. Somebody just asked me to do a project like this and he wants me to send a sheep shears. I usually don't do knifes but now just started to thinking about it. Very creative idea I reckon.😊

    That is a crazy good idea!! On the family farm there is about 50 old shears hanging up in the shed!!
    Keep the inspiration coming!! 🔪

      Thanks mate. It wasn't my idea but you should definitely do one mate. It is funny sometimes I actually see people trying to sell old shears for like $30. Hahaha

    this is one of my lockdown projects :)
    bought the shears a while ago, now finally have time to do it.
    just cut the shears today. one of the blades is a bit bent but will try and straighten it. Did you heat treat? If yes, how? thank you!

    • @TobyFireandSteel
      @TobyFireandSteel  4 роки тому +2

      Hi mate no I didn't heat treat it because I was happy with its edge holding. Check it with a file. If you etch it in feric or vingar you can actualy see the differential heat treat line along the blade. If I was to re heat treat it I'd probably treat it like any mystery Steel and heat till non magnetic and the quenching in 30- 40c canola oil bud. And temper for 2 x2 hours at about 190-200c. This is just what I'd do. Hope it helps bro. Good luck

      @@TobyFireandSteel just trace it on to the handle and grind it back?

    • @TobyFireandSteel
      @TobyFireandSteel  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah basically bro just take little bits off at a time and keep trying it then once it fits in well. You can shape the handle bit itself.

    Any idea of the type of steel? Is it hardenable ? @ignis_rex 😉

    • @TobyFireandSteel
      @TobyFireandSteel  11 місяців тому

      No mate I don't know. I'd say it's a simple spring Steel but I'm pretty sure I've seen or know of people to read heat treat them.
