If their is a mistake to make I think I’ve done it! I left a log dog too high and ruined a saw blade while sawing some pine recently. Turns out they make nice knife blades.
Shorter knife has red cedar grips and should be a good skinning knife, the longer knife is a filet knife with yellow pine grips.
After making a sheath I’m giving the “pine knife” to my buddy who gave me the pine logs.
Thanks for looking,

How far into the log dog did you get? Everyone who has a sawmill has either done the same thing or will do it someday… I hit a gate hinge in the middle of a 48” red oak log once and I didn’t notice anything till I pulled off the board. Only one tooth was broken and only 3 were dulled. Very impressive performance from a Timberwolf bandsaw blade.

I got about 1/8” into the 1/4” wall 2” square tubing! It rounded or removed most of the teeth.
I think I’ll try some timberwolf blades next time I have to order some if their that tough.

How about a pic of a ‘log dog’ before mutilation? Nice knives and handles. Too bad about your blade.

Like I said on another post, you didn’t make a mistake, you made a design change! And A good one at that!
