I would also love to see the build-a-long on this. Was that a 'normal' size spike or one of the smaller ones?

That's genius.  Where can a guy find those spikes, aside from pulling them from a track?  >:D

I would definitely be interested in seeing how you made it as well.  Man, I need to get into knife making...

very cool knife  8)

i find spikes all the time,just walk along the tracks and keep your eyes on the ground
as kids we used to walk the tracks looking for ball bearings that had fallen out
we would use them as "steelies" for playing marbles  ;)

That is a cool knife, are those a lot of work to make or what sort of tools do you need to do it is what I mean?

My brother is a welder and he always talks about building a forge.  I think I need to send him a link to this page, to plant a little seed in his brain and get him motivated :)  I can built him bows and he can make knife blanks for me, and other cool stuff like this.
