Making A Knife From Pruning Shears

Показать описание
I bet every man that ever held some pruning shears imagined them as a knife. I know I did! That's why, when we broke the handle on ours I decided to make a knife out of them.

The blade was of decent quality and basically it was designed to cut wood, so it should make a great shop knife. The chisel grind will prove useful while tracing a line after a straight edge and also should allow for more precise chip carving because of the zero angle on one side.

Since the "tang" is so short I doubled the handle with aluminum and also used the large hole as an oversized pin to take the pressure while chip carving. It's also great for hanging the knife tip up on the pegboard so it's easy to grab while working.

The wood scales are made from an olive wood cutting board that was thrown away since it's full of cracks. Since this is a shop project I saved the nice figured wood for better things and used the dull part on the side. The only fancy detail is that I tried to take advantage of the natural curvature of the wood to match the handle.

This is not a tutorial, it's just for entertainment! A lot of tools and techniques shown here are very dangerous!

The fact that you didn't say one word and just showed the work being done with the sounds made this video a damn work of art. Thank you! amazing knife as well.

One of the coolest knife construction videos I have seen. The re-purposing idea was brilliant, the techniques with basic tools were awesome, and the final product exceeded my expectations. Awesome video.

Dude, you should make a shop with custom home made things like vintage knifes and old tools that you have restored and stuff like all the antiques you have restored. You would get so much business
