Draw knife

In order to make my tool collection more complete without spending much money I have been trying my hand at tool making 

 First off is a simple small draw knife. It is a piece of flat stock twisted with a vice and blow torch then hardened in my charcoal forge to martensite then tempered slightly


 It holds an amazingly sharp edge I can slice quite easily into soft woods almost an inch and the small handles give good close control








And of course I  made a leather sheath for it
