DIY knife handle

Dear visitors of the site, from the workshop provided by the author, you will learn how to independently make a handle for a knife from two species of wood using getinax and natural cotton fabric, as well as a brass insert.

This knife has a handle made of two halves of wood of different species (differing in color and texture of the picture) and also a spacer made of hetinax which is used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards for radio equipment, it consists of fabric or resin impregnated paper, it is very cheap and available in free access.

First, two small pieces of wood are taken and stacked together, in this position they are sawed at an angle. Then the sawn blanks are sanded at the place of cutting with sandpaper, then glued with getinax and a natural cotton cloth, the whole thing is smeared with epoxy resin and glued, then it is pulled together with a clamp and remains in this position for 24 hours until it dries. After the workpiece dries, the edges are cut off using a stationary band saw. Next, on the resulting beam, you should draw the contour of the future handle with a pencil, cut out the intended contour best of course on a band saw.

Then, a hole for installing the knife blade is drilled in the end part, filled with glue and the metal core of the blade is inserted. It is sent under a makeshift press until the glue dries, the handle is then sanded and covered with varnish or linseed oil to give the tree a more noble color and shade.

And so, let's look at how the knife was made and what exactly was required for this?

Then the workpieces are ground, special attention is paid to the place of cutting.After which these two halves are glued together with a spacer made of hetinax and a natural cotton cloth impregnated with epoxy resin, glued together and tightened with a clamp for 24 hours until the resin dries. The protruding parts of getinax and tissue are then cut with a band saw. In the end part, a hole is drilled for installing the knife blade, as well as a brass spacer between the handle and the blade itself.The finished handle is varnished or rubbed with linseed oil.
