5052 Knife

Want to make a knife but don’t have a forge? Now you can with an old street sign.

Go to your vice and bend your sign in it. Then put it under something heavy.

Cut your wood into a 4x5 inch board roughly. Then cut the small piece in half.

Sand the shape you want into the billet. And sand the sticker off the metal. And sand the wood down to fit the tang.

Use a hand saw to cut the scales roughly to size of the tang.

Drill holes through both scales and tang then insert pins and epoxy it all together.

Spread epoxy in the spaces between the tang and wait overnight for the epoxy to set.

Shape your handle to the way you like it. And sharpen your knife and your done!
