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.
