Knife making at home

                                    How to make a knife at home

The Idea is to make a knife at home came to me after I saw sold in our stores products in China. Looking, at first glance, is quite tolerable, with beautifully decorated handles kitchen knives turned out to be absolutely unusable. Not only that, the materials from which these knives are made was highly dubious, and the whole set of knives over time, I had to throw away, as all of its components  are simply broke. Yes, even in the process of exploitation had very unpleasant thoughts at the sight of peeling paint on knife handles, because all this stuff could easily get into the food, and its origin was unknown.

Here I decided to try making knives with his hands. But it's only easy to say, knife making at home -  no simple matter, and the materials required. First I used the left over from the worn Chinese knife blade, as the handle it made of a suspicious plastic,  little shabby, becoming unpleasant, then fell off. Therefore, the manufacture of knives at home I started with a knife, have from own production only the handle. Finding a suitable size piece of beech, I gave him the desired shape with a hacksaw and a file, processed it skin (first large, then small) to make the surface perfectly smooth. My fountain pen was made of two halves, between which, and located ruletochka part of the blade. Carefully, using a drill, drilled in both halves of the hole for fastening, padded blade between them and bonded the whole arm with the help of studs. And between the halves of the handle there is no gap on the inner part of them pre-made grooves for the thickness and width of the blade, to hide his pen.

Honestly, this knife looked very well, the only difficulty was to get material that is not always easy to find solid wood, although, on the other hand, impossible in nothing. Next, I decided to make a knife with blade. To do this, bought a piece of stainless steel, of a thickness of a millimeter. Then, not without difficulty, using a drill and hacksaw for metal, cut a blank of desired size, trying to give the future blade. Honestly, treating a workpiece with a file – the occupation is very laborious, so I have used electric emery. Sharpening a knife made there, and polished it with a special circle. Drilled holes for mounting handles, well and further all occurred as described above. The only exception was the material of the knife – now I used the plastic processing, its processing was less time consuming than wood, but the appearance of the finished arm was, unfortunately, not as nice as a knife with a wooden handle.

It's still a natural material is always more valuable than artificial.  in General, the manufacture of knives at home was very fun, useful both for the household and for their own development. Buying from a friend mechanic set for embossing markings, I additionally was able to put on a knife blade and even the engraving. I do not know how anyone, but I like to improve, to bring the knives at home to the quality, not snivellus those products that are sold in hardware stores. In addition, the set of tools required for such production, not so great, and at first it is possible to do only the most common tools.
