After seeing a few articles and tutorials on making carving knives, I wanted to give it a try. Most instructional information that I have found, details how to make your own knife from making the blade all the way to making the handle. I don’t really have all of the proper tools or expertise to make my own blades, so when I found some ideas using a blade from an old pocket knife, I jumped at the chance to try it. It turned out pretty good, so I wanted to pass on the information to my visitors.
The first step is to find the old knife that you want to use a blade from. After removing the blade from the pocket knife, find your desired type of wood for the handle and cut out a 3/4″ by 3/4″ by 5″ piece (I’m using hickory) and then split that in half.
