Rebar Knife

I forged this knife from scrap rebar, of which there is an abundance to be found around New York City. The handle and pins were also scrap. Transforming such raw materials into a useful, durable object for the table at no cost was deeply satisfying. The equilibrium between the handle and the blade when the knife is placed upright on its bottom horizontal axis represents a measured approach to making objects. Waste is not tolerated.
