How to Make a Knife
Today I will be showing you how to take a piece of steel and turn it into a blade
Supplies:
1. Piece of steel to make knife out of
2. Paracord
3. Angle grinder or some other way to cut the metal
4. Safety gear ( gloves, ear plugs, and goggles)
5. A place to work
Drawing
Draw the design onto the piece of steel so you know where to cut.
Start Cutting!
Take your angle grinder and cut out the knife out of the steel. Be sure to wear all safety gear!
Sharpening
Take your grinding wheel and put it on your angle grinder. Then, start sharpening your knife. Grind the edge evenly on each side at 30 degrees until you have a nice and sharp edge. I forgot to take pictures of this process.
Cleaning Up
Take your grinder and grind the sides to make them nice and smooth. Also, grind away any rust from your knife
Paracord
Take some paracord and wrap your knife. I did a pretty simple wrap but, you can do whatever you want.
You're Done!
Have fun and be safe with your new knife!
