what I did with a couple broken kitchen knives
I had a couple stainless steel large kitchen ( butcher ) knives that had broke near the handle, so I was board the other day and wanted to play with my new dremal so I made these. the skinner style blade is a thiner steel its overall lendht is 5.5 inches, the other is 7.75 inches in lenght and is a thicker steel.
I am not going to do any handle on the small knife, and will most likely do some wood scales on the longer one ,

did you do your grinding slow enough to keep the heat treat intact?
those look like fun designs.

Well..... as a matter of fact I started making a knife last week out of a old kitchen knife myself. Haven't finished it, so haven't posted it yet. (Great minds think alike you know!)
Those are pretty cool! I like the small one alot!
Carefull now....this stuff is very addictive!

Looks like we have a couple more lost souls in the knife making world. Hehehe. I like the bottom one best. It just looks like it would be a handy knife to have.

Updating website! Stop by and tell me what you think!
Well done. Be sure and let us see how the handles turn out.
Tell the truth, you broke them just so you could make them cooler! Nice start, I cant wait to see them all finished.
I like em. I think they both would pretty handy to have. THe bottom one is also my favorite. Cord wrap, or slabs for the handles?

LOL nope not these two, now I am however going to keep an eye out for some doners at the thrift store.
I am going to try and work on the handles today some .

Im thinking some oak scales since I already have some scraps of that laying around I just dont have any pinning material, I may try my luck at some crashcarta , I have some cool burlap camo material, and also a piece of blaze orange material.

My original intentions on the top knife was a light sturdy blade that would fit in an altoids tin survival kit. but I got carried away and it is way too long . so now it has found a home in the pocket of my bushman sheath.

Ive actually got a lot of carbon steel blades that ive cut and shaped but do not have the right equipment to finish the blades right ( belt sander) That and I am not too good at making handles , so one day I hope to flood ya all with my finished knives LOL .

Well while sitting on the porch I started eyeballing the antler thats been hanging there for 6 months, well part of it is now the start of my knife handle. Here is a couple of pics of the start of them.

very functional looking.
I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
That works for me. Looks good.
Paul
That looks great! Good job bro!
Oh come on! You don't need a belt sander. All mine have been done on a bench grinder for major removal, then a file then a coures stone. The handles have all been done with a dremal tool and then hand sanded.
I guess what I'm trying to tell you is, START THE FLOOD!!!!!

Looks good!
mine is the same way many knife blanks just no handles lol
