HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE KNIFE

Step 1 : Draw shape of the blade on

graph paper. Always try to be creative while

making your blade design but should be practically and functionally correct.

Decide the length of the blade Design the tang.

Step 2 : Material and Tools Needed

Carbon Steel You can also use

knife making supplies. Handle material Hacksaw, drilling machine,

a vise Make sure to wear

protective eye wear.

Step 3 : Now use your hacksaw to the metal sheet. Grind the profile- remove the access metal from the

sheet. Grind the edge. Drill the rivet holes. Finish the blade by using fine sand paper.

Step 4 : Forging Forge the blade using coal or gas.

Heat the blade- Keep it heating until the metal is orange. When steel reaches the correct temperature it will lose its magnetic property, check it by tapping against magnet.

Step 5 : Making Handle Cut out the handle pieces. For full tang knife two

pieces of wood will be used one for each side of blade.

Drill the holes for rivet on each side and use epoxy to attach them. Let it dry for the complete day.

Use saw to make final finish and adjustments of your knife.
