How Should I Go About Making A Sheath Knife?
I have decided that I want to make a sheath knife from raw materials as I think it would be fun and I would save alot of money while getting exactly what I want. What materials as far as steel and stuff should I use? I do have access to a grinding wheel. I want to start out with a long piece of steel and form alot of it into a blade but leaf a good sized flat piece as the handle which I will sandwich between two pieces of wood. The blade will hopefully look like this:
….————————-
…..\
…….\———————-
Though not quite as tall. Look up “tanto” blade if you want to see a picture. I would like for this knife to be able to be used lightly as a hatchet or to cut stuff like a normal knife so it will have to be really strong.
