If you want to make a beautiful knife with your own hands without violating the laws of Russia, the best option is a brass blade. It should be noted that a brass knife is not classified as a cold weapon due to the insufficient hardness of the metal.
At the same time, brass is not susceptible to rust and looks very attractive in combination with a wooden handle. Such a knife, of course, cannot handle a tin can. But to spread bread with butter or cut an egg in half - this is no problem.
Preparation for work
The manufacturing process of any knife should always begin with the use of a template - it can be downloaded on the Internet (a lot of interesting design options are offered for choice) and simply printed on paper on any printer.
If you know how to draw, then the template can be made with your own hands. You can also use another knife as a sample. In general, there are many options, so choose the one you like best.
Manufacturing process
Having the template of a folding pocket knife on hand, first we cut out the wooden handle, and then the blade itself from a sheet of brass. To do this, it is best to use a jigsaw or a compact band saw. But you can do with a grinder.
After machining the workpieces, all the elements of the folding knife (brass blade and wooden handle) are joined together. The main stages of the work can be seen in the video on our website.
