How to Make a Knife

Okay this is my first instructable on how to make a knife.

Things you'll need
• A drill
• A paint scraper made of carbon steel
• A branch
• A bench grinder
• JB weld epoxy
• A dremel

The paint scraper should look like this but not with round edges


*sorry for the lack of pictures

First draw your design onto the paint scraper then cut it out using a dremel.

Now you have to use a hammer to break the plastic handle off the paint scraper. I dont have a picture of this.

Using a drill cut out a hole big enough for the knife into the top of your wood branch. Make sure the slot is deep enough as well.

Now you will want to mix your JB weld and spread it inside of the slot with a popsicle stick. After its spread put the bottom of your blade into the slot and let it dry for 24+ hours so the JB weld can harden.

Take your knife when the JB weld has hardened and sharpen it at a bench grinder.

Okay if you have an angle grinder with a 120 grit flap disk you can gently run it along the blade to get cool looking lines.
