- Starting with a 25 cent Old Hickory kitchen knife, I shorten and recontour the blade to mimic the iconic Mora #1. By doing so I create a Razer sharp, Full tang, Carbon steel, American Made bushcraft knife.

Very nice project Jamie. I enjoyed seeing the process. It looks like you definitely upgraded the knife and have something there that can do the job if you need it to in the woods. Well done.
Black Hat Bushcraft Thanks Matt.
I've repurposed a bunch of Old Hickory for people. Great knives. I'm always looking for OH at yard sales. I found a "Hudson" that was made right here in Reed City, Michigan that I'm giving a similar treatment too. Nice work!
Mitten State Bushcraft Thanks there is a lot of value in vintage kitchen knives. If you want to post a picture on picture of your finished knife on my Burning River Bushcraft Facebook page, I would like to see it.
Very nice
I like it, great idea!
Rufus InTenn Thanks.
I see starting with a mini angle grinder and cut part way through, always leaving on the tip as a heat sink - DO NOT BURN THE BLADE. Then make a popsicle, frozen water with the knife as the popsicle stick. Finish the last of the grinding with a Dremmel grinder, cutting right through the ice and into steel. (just a thought - to NOT burn the tip) Then hand sharpen, cold on various grits and don't turn on the bench grinder.
Quenching the steel in water before it's too hot to handle is all that's required to keep from losing the blades temper. Thanks for watching
Great project but definitely not an Old Hickory.
I dont think thats old hickory, most likely a forgecraft. Basically made the same. Old hickory is the poor mans forgecraft
Just got one from the flea market
