Knife with wood typesetting handle

Dear visitors of the site, from the master class provided by the author, you will learn how to independently make a camping knife with a wood handle.

This knife was made by the author specifically for camping and fishing activities;) 3 mm thick steel was taken as the starting material, and a hand-drawn handle made of different wood (the author used pine and sequoia) can also be used to make the handle and another tree, the main thing is that it varied in color and texture.

The dial is made according to the following principle, a threaded pin is welded to the blade, wood blanks are sawn and a hole is drilled in the middle, then the wooden plates are dialed onto the welded threaded pin. Each part is smeared with wood glue, as soon as the plates are full length they are tightened with a nut under the washer and remain in this position for 24 hours until the glue dries completely. Then, the resulting handle can be removed and the edges trimmed with a stationary band saw. After that, a rounded shape is set on the emery, polished with sandpaper or on a belt grinding machine.
Finishing can be done with varnish, as well as linseed oil.

The knife blade is made of 3 mm steel, the metal is cut using a stationary band saw with a blade for metal. Next, the blade is set to emery. Necessarily metal will need to be hardened, in this case the author hardened only the cutting part, heating it to red with a gas burner and put it in a bucket of water. This type of hardening allows you to leave the main part of the blade elastic, which will extend the life of this knife.

Let's look at what exactly will be needed to assemble the knife.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a knife with a typesetting handle from different types of wood do it yourself.

First of all, the knife blade itself is made of 3 mm steel and is sawn on a stationary band saw with a metal blade.Then, a threaded metal pin is welded to the resulting blade.That part of the metal that will be under the tree is painted with paint to avoid contact with moisture seeping through the wood. After that, we begin to dial the handle, first a special metal plate is laid, and only then wooden workpieces with alternating colors, each plate is coated with wood glue. Having typed the handle in full size, then it is tightened with a nut and remains in this position for 24 hours until the glue dries. As the glue dries and hardens, the handle should be leveled and given its final shape.The dial must then be carefully sanded and varnished or with linseed oil.Here is such a wonderful camping knife with a wooden knob, it turned out, now the author will chop the sausage on them))) The knife is simple, and the instructions are understandable, so if your hands grow from the right place, it’s quite possible to do something like that or even it's better.
