Hey thanks I thought the teeth on the other side was so they could flip the blade to get twice the life. Never thougth about sawing from the other direction. Which now after thinking about it make perfect sense.tkhudson wrote:The really cool ones have teeth on both sides so the log can be sawn in both directions! Wow lots of memories there. Ive seen a few saw blades explode and pieces fly all over. Amazing how a small piece of rebar or an old insulator can destroy one of these huge saws in the blink of an eye... real scary thing to see happen...
I wonder if that be true. What I mean is do we know the metallurgical properties of the steel in the blade is. I would guess the main body is a flexible metal with the teeth portion being more hardened and less flexible. Since I imagine you would use the main body of the blade for knife is flexible a desirable quality?dasgud wrote:I would love to have one of those after it brakes to make knives and scrapers with.
I was thinking about filet knives where flexibility is desirable. I use bandsaw steel for draw scrapers/shapers now and it works great for that.Ed in Tampa wrote:I wonder if that be true.

I readily admit I don't know and that is why I'm asking.
I was always told the best knife blades were made from file steel that was left outside for about a year.
