How to Make a Knife

Today I will be showing you how to take a piece of steel and turn it into a blade Supplies: 1. Piece of steel to make knife out of 2. Paracord 3. Angle grinder or some other way to cut the metal 4. Safety gear ( gloves, ear plugs, and goggles) 5. A place to work

Step 1: Drawing

Draw the design onto the piece of steel so you know where to cut.

Step 2: Start Cutting!

Take your angle grinder and cut out the knife out of the steel. Be sure to wear all safety gear!

Step 3: Sharpening

Take your grinding wheel and put it on your angle grinder. Then, start sharpening your knife. Grind the edge evenly on each side at 30 degrees until you have a nice and sharp edge. I forgot to take pictures of this process.

Step 4: Cleaning Up

Take your grinder and grind the sides to make them nice and smooth. Also, grind away any rust from your knife

Step 5: Paracord

Take some paracord and wrap your knife. I did a pretty simple wrap but, you can do whatever you want.

Step 6: You're Done!

Have fun and be safe with your new knife!
