In this review, the author shows how to make a small homemade knife in the form of a buckle for a belt. The idea is cool, so take a note.
For the manufacture of a knife, you can use a piece of ordinary steel strip. For such a knife, good steel is not really needed. Although, if you wish, you can take spring-spring steel.
Before proceeding with the manufacture of the knife, consider the functionality of the knife. Firstly, it acts as a belt buckle. Secondly, it can be used as a regular knife - for example, cut sausages or vegetables.
Thirdly, with the help of such a knife you can open a bottle of beer or soda. In general, a homemade knife is useful both in everyday life and on vacation (outdoors or fishing).
The main stages of work
First of all, the master cuts off a piece of metal strip of the desired length. Then he applies the template and outlines it with a marker. After that, we drill a hole in the workpiece with a drill.
At the next stage, we process the workpiece, giving it the necessary shape. We make descents and sharpen the blade.
Further, the author makes a peg from a section of a metal bar of circular cross section. Fasten this part to the buckle with a thin pin.
Then it remains only to attach the knife sheath to the inside of the belt. Native buckle will need to be removed.
