I was meaning to pick up out there someday.
TR, the steel is called "shear steel" and is actually a form of laminated tool steel which is why it hasn't been taken to the dump yet. Some of that saw plate came from 100 inch diameter circle saws used in the big mills. Even after being torch cut in quarters, I can barely wrestle one piece into the back of the pickup to bring it home.

One project that some may have heard of was made from the original chunks of that saw plate,
the Harsey produced custom Smatchets for Col. Rex Applegate.

Harsey has finally successfully created a new genetic hybrid. This way the handle is already attached when he cuts out the blade.

I don't remember ever seeing that variation of the smatchet. I didn't make that one.
The marks look authentic.
History?
