Forging a Drill Bit Knife - with a Little Woodturning

Watch an old drill bit get transformed into a sweet little dagger! The flute naturally turned into the fuller. It was a nice change from woodturning.

The Blade is forged from a 1/2 drill bit, the handle is curly maple, and the guard is copper. I finished the blade with beeswax, which isn't super durable, but I don't expect this to get heavy use.
