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.
2 - Here are some more knives I have made, some of these are recent.
3 - This is not a survival knife, just one I made.
4 -This one here I did today which is feb 14. Happy V DAY.
Any feedback is appreciated.
