I can't believe it's not butter.....

I like the spoons you made from the blades. I saved the blade from mine but haven't done anything with it yet - although I did actually use it for something fishing related.... my little tube of reel grease blew out the back of the tube and I ended up heating the knife blade (first good metal item I found in the drawer...) over a flame and using it to melt and seal the back of the grease tube!


I haven't used my knife jig all that much, but I did catch a lizard fish jigging near the bottom near Oceanside pier and some calicos/macks on the troll at La Jolla once. Threw it for a little bit this summer at YFT and Skippies on a party boat, but not long enough for any results.


The drilling was definitely a beast! I just used an old bit and forced it until it was done/destroyed. Next time I might actually try an end mill or something more like a carbide cutter run gently with a lot of fluid...
