    I've got my hands on 3 blades (1 knife blade, 2 saw blades)
    Apart from the 1st two things that spring to my mind, a skin scraper for pelts,and wood saws. what do ye think could be made?

    McGyver springs to my mind!!

    top one-you could put a wooden handle on it and use it as an ice scraper (considering the weather we're having)

    Ooooh actually, I'm not being smart but what if you used it as literally, a razor blade? if you got it cleaned up nice and shiny, it'd be kind of like the razors they use for the hot towel shaves :/

    Or a planer? (if you were into carpentry)

    the blade you could make a spoke shave? been meaning to pick one up myself if i see one cheap, they can be quite handy. and it would be easy to add handles to that.
    not sure on the saws though

    ed, should have called it a draw knife really i suspose

    Thought instantly of a spoke shave also. Easily done. No idea for the saw blades as they don't look big enough really for a hand tool
