Handmade knife

My survival knife

My survival knife

My name is Richard I have a knife that I made that I think is a good survival knife. I'm sure it is not the best knife to use but it can be used for almost any thing.

I made it out of a 1 1/4" metal cutting band saw blade which my cousin gave me from where he works. I left the teeth on it as the back and shaped it the way I wanted it by using my dremel. I used a hand file to get the edge on it then used a smooth stone rod to put a razor edge on it.

It is about 8" long total from bottom to the top. Which I like that the whole knife is all metal so it is solid and durable. It has a little bit of flexibility which I think it makes it better so it won't break.

I'm sure you know that beings it is a metal cutting blade that it is carbon steel. It will cut almost anything including bone,metal,wood ect. and in case you are wondering I have cut metal with it after I finished it.

My knife
by: Richard

My knife is about 8 inches total that is from the bottom of the handle to the tip of the blade. It is about an 16th of an inch thick. I wrapped a shoe string around the handle to give some thickness to it and then wrapped some camoflauge material around the shoe strings and sewed it together and sewed it to the fabric so that it will not come off or loosen. It has a razor edge that I tested on my arm which I always do with my knives by shaving the hair off my arm.

How long is it and how thick is it? It is a pretty interesting design. Wouldn't mind having one myself.
