How to make a Folding Knife

Today I'm going to make this folding knife using olive wood, steel pipe and an old saw blade. This style of folding knife does not usually have a locking, friction between wood and blade works as a locking,

MUY buen trabajo, es una autentica Opinel-Paoson, buena idea el corte para poder agujerearla mejor. Enhorabuena por el proyecto!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

muchas gracias!

+Paoson WoodWorking nice work olive wood is my favorite to work especially the scent from it 🐾🐺👍

También tenía el mismo problema para agujerear, ahora soy feliz al ver la solución, gracias

¿Opinel? A mí se me asemeja más a una Taramundi :-)

a very well made pocket knife,and olive wood for the handle a good choice,gets my thumbs up

Gorgeous and classy design! I love the olive wood so much...the grain is stunning. Another cool way to upcycle that saw blade. :)

thank you so much!

Next challenge, a safety mechanism. Look at Opinel knives. ;)

PatCat I was about to say the same thing.

[@SublustrisRU]

Тоже хотел написать про Opinel. Без фиксатора этот нож слишком опасен для того кто его использует. Можно остаться без пальцев.

Hey, tip for "drilling" hss that I've discovered is using grinding bits for dremmels. A lot cheaper than good drill bits and they eat through hss like crazy. They're good for making a pilot hole.

Even if you disregard heat treating the blade, this is still better than any Opinel knife made in the last 50 years.

ee okk very nice!!!😉👍👍👌👌👊!!!!!!!!

[@AbrahamFarrell]

Genius.

[@rickschuman2926]

When you get to drilling the hole, as at 5:08, instead of the dremel approach, use a mapp gas torch to take some of the hardness out. In this way, you will be able to drill the hole and the tang will be less brittle at the pivot point which might keep the blade from snapping off when you use it. You should try heating and drrilling xseveral pieces of scrap at different rates to find the best heat for the material you are using. It does seem odd tome that a saw blade would be that hard/tough to drill.
