Knives

So I saw some knifemaking videos on YouTube and thought to myself i can do one too.

Also i need a knife for my upcoming vacation in Sweden. So this was perfect. 

I ordered some wood pieces for the handle and two blades. 

The handle should fit my hand perfect, so i started with carving a place to fit the blade in. 

After that i glued the two pieces and the blade together with 5-Minute Epoxy. 

The i taped the blade and started shaping the wood with a Dremel. 

Next i added a groove where i could fit a leather piece that i had laying around. 

Lastly after i glued the leather in place i finished the knife with oil and wax.

I had some wood left over and also ordered a second small blade.

So i repeated the same first steps from above. 

The only difference i did, was adding a layer of epoxy with glow-in-the-dark powder.

With both knives done, i sharpen the blades and they are still used today.

Overall a fun little project i've done.
