I like making things and I recently stumbled across a few knife making videos on YouTube which has got me hooked. Thought I'd put a pic up of my second knife using only very basic tools.
It's good fun but a lot of work with the basic tools. I've made a few knives but they are not of a great quality. Good steel good edge but look like shite. No worries beating them around though.
I remember when at school we used to use the broken electric hacksaw blade to make knives. The blades were about 3cm wide and prob 2mm thick. The original cutting edge made a good back side for fishing knives! They were strong yet flexible and held an edge forever.
