Help me ID this blade
on: December 19, 2023, 03:58:47 PM
   I put on all my woolies and walked down my long driveway to see what had blown down from yesterday's winds.  I got lucky.  Nothing much down.  I kicked a few things out of the way. 
   Then I saw some scuffed up leaves.  And what I thought was a piece of plastic drink cup.  I picked it up.  A blade. 
    30 yards farther down the road I saw whitetail belly hairs.  Maybe six tufts.  Looked around.  No blood.  No gut pile.  I started wondering if A was related to B.  Hmmm?
     No blood on the blade.  It is almost 1mm thick and 98mm long.  Gut hook obviously. Dirt from the road and maybe being run over.  Disposable blade for something?  Like Havalon idea? 
     Who better to know than the Toolarians on MTo?  I could look it up maybe, but you fellas are the experts.  Best wishes.  G

Pretty sure it is one of these:

P.S. The “hook” is not a gut hook, but part of the way the replacement blade attaches to the core.

Good IdD Nate J.  You nailed it.

Good eye Gary, that blade could have done damage it left just laying out.  👍
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

    That makes sense.  The blade would have to be stabilized front and rear.  I might put the thing on a stone and see how it sharpens.  Just for chuckles.  Obviously, somebody dropped the blade.  It is dull.  Best wishes and happy holidays, Nate. 
    I always pick up trash along the road, Looper.  Don't usually have to pick anything up on the driveway, though.  Somebody left a dead dog not too far from my mailbox.  And bashed the top of the box in with something like a jack handle.  Usual stuff that happens on rural routes, right? Best wishes and happy holidays again, Looper. G

    I sprayed some Windex on the blade and cleaned off the schmutz.  The part I called a guthook has no cutting surface inside the hook.  Of course.  I saw the edge was rolled from about 3/4 inch from the tip back to within an inch of the shank.  That came off with a medium grit Arkansas stone and a few minutes of work.  The blade actually sharpened up okay.
    I knew that somebody would know what this blade was.  This is where the blade experts are, right?  Best wishes.  G
