In this video, I show the complete process of making a kitchen hatchet from an old circular saw blade — from rusty, discarded metal to a sharp, fully finished kitchen axe. Making a hatchet from a circular saw blade is a fantastic DIY blacksmithing project for anyone interested in knife making, axe making, bladesmithing, and handcrafting tools at home.
Watch the full kitchen hatchet-making process step by step: cleaning and preparing the old saw blade, marking and cutting out the hatchet profile, rough and fine grinding, heat treatment and steel hardening, crafting a wooden handle, full assembly, and final sharpening to a razor-sharp edge that'll chop through anything.
An old circular saw blade is an outstanding material for making a hatchet or axe at home: high-carbon tool steel, tough and resilient, that can be worked without professional equipment. If you want to learn how to make a kitchen hatchet from a saw blade, how to harden a blade at home, how to make a wooden axe handle, how to repurpose old tools — or if you're simply passionate about bladesmithing and DIY metalworking — this video is for you!
This is a perfect project for both beginners and experienced makers interested in handmade axe and knife making, blacksmithing, upcycling old tools, and forging kitchen, camping, and bushcraft hatchets from readily available scrap materials.
