| Re: Want to make a quick and dirty folding knife? I made something similar with a wooden handle......a folding strop, leather on one side, a fine grit sandpaper on the other (in case I mess up and chip the blade lol )...for traveling....its handy!

| Re: Want to make a quick and dirty folding knife? Friction folders are neat. Classic design. Here's one I made awhile back. Not a carving knife, but you get the idea. The handle is Mesquite. Pins are nickle silver.

| Re: Want to make a quick and dirty folding knife? Nice knife there Plain_Ol_Ed! Hobo, thanks for the proverbial slap up the side of the head! What was I thinking! I kind of wondered about heating up PVC, but I blew it. I'm glad you mentioned it. Aside from the toxics that come off when heating, the risk of a burn from handling the plastic is there, too. Then if you drop the plastic in the flame, now you got a bigger problem. I posted the link because there has been some interest in folding carving knives. Now I realize from Hi_Ho_Sliver, and Plain_Ol_Ed, that sawing a channel in a block of material, i.e. wood or metal is the better way to go. So, instead of heating and bending a piece of plastic, I'll cut a slice into a piece of cherry or red oak. Then follow the rest of the instructions. BTW--since yesterday, the second link became a dead one. Bob L |
