new DIY knife - KCSR

turbo sol · 2015-12-19, 11:11 AM

This was a quicker project for me. By using an established blade to begin with, it saves a lot of time. (no annealing or hardening required.) Just a lot of shaping and sanding.

Thought it came out nice, and better than just throwing the old knife away.

Here is a step by step.

and I also made a few videos of the process.

Nice! I don't know that I really care for the material of the handle of the new blade but watching the process was really cool man.

Thanks!

It was my first time using the faux jade. I want to start using more artificial handle materials. I've done several wood handles (which are always nice) but you can get some crazy colors and patterns when looking into options like micarta.

you can also find some wild stabilized wood piece with colored resin that look good. I need to buy a small vacuum container and try making my own.
