Surely you have a suitable piece of hardened steel in your household. Draw a diagram of the future knife on thick paper. Cut, and using the pattern as a template, transfer the pattern to the steel plate with chalk. Remember to draw a pen.

Step 2. Harvesting a machete



Grinder cut the workpiece. Do not neglect safety measures - work with gloves and goggles. Pre-clamp the plate in a vice. Make a wide cut on the handle, it will be needed to form the handle of the machete.

Step 3. Sharpening


Now sharpen the knife. You can do this yourself by heating the blade with a propane heating pad and cooling it as necessary in a container of cool water.

Sew a short clasp strap to the case. On the strap and case, fasten the two parts of one rivet.

A riveted strap will securely hold the machete in its sheath. Sew a small rectangle of leather on the inside of the case, for better wearing the scabbard on the belt. For the cover to last longer, sand the edges of the skin sections on it and treat it with a special wax for the skin. This is guaranteed to increase its service life.

I even specifically registered to write what a terrible hack. Such horror and shame should be embarrassing to put on public display. And do not write that we are all just learning - it could be done a hundred times more accurately and five times more functional. The author has a fat minus, idea 10, implementation 1.
Who is translating this heresy for you ??
What kind of grinding with a propane burner?
This recommendation turned out to be extremely useful to me - I did everything clearly according to the proposed instructions and was very pleased! I am fond of fishing and spend a lot of time with a fishing rod in absolutely wild places (I do not like anyone to interfere with fishing). This machete knife is really needed here!
