Introduction: How to Make a Knife

About: Feel free to check out my Instagram, it is charggear. A wannabe machinist. I'm always trying to improve my techniques. Most of the time I'm making lantern keychains and pens

Step 1:

I started out with flat steel, I then added the holes for your fingers.

Step 2:

I thin added the shape of the blade and put a rough edge on it

Step 3:

I then put a fine edge on it and then hardened it with a propane torch. I also added a hook(which isn't very sharp)

Step 4:

I then painted it and put paracord on the handle.

Step 5:

After you paint it you need to file off the blade slightly to expose the blade so it will have an edge, then you can sharpen it

Step 6:

I also made a sheath, ill explained how to make them in another instructable
