OK «Tanto Knife» might be a stretch, but when the apocalypse is on and all you have to work with is a rusty lawnmower blade, a cobbled together forge, and a few simple tools… you can’t expect perfection, you just make what works. (At least that’s my excuse).
Lawnmower blades can be a great way to find cheap knife making steel, and there are thousands of projects you can create from them.
