How to Make a Non-Detectable Knife for Self-Defense

[@jackofnone9439]

I attached a key ring to a white tail deer antler for my girlfriend to carry her keys. It forms a 'Y' and fits in her hand perfectly, and it's sharpened to a wicked point.

[@Vuk_q5n]

Wow, didn’t know antlers could be used like that 😮

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

As long as it doesn't hang from an ignition key slot. It makes it fail from the weight. Sounds useful.

[@brakeme1]

Good idea! Watch ur balls😂

[@hanelyp1]

The keys will show on a metal detector. The antler key fob is plausibly deniable as a weapon.

Yep; I've always got a plastic fork, knife, and spoon in my backpack/sturdy not cheapies; you used to be able to tell white vs. black but nowadays, you've got to use your own thumb to know. Usually the black ones are more sturdy. Also, dental floss and a little coffee straw. You'd be surprised how strong a little coffee straw can be.

[@Namrevlis1938]

Jason, a long tme ago when I was in my 20's I occasionally went to a "Home show" that came to my city once a year. In the kitchen section along with all the food storage and food preparation items they always had a person demonstrating an extremely sharp knife by cutting vegetables. Everyone was extremely interested because he easily cut tomatoes into slices as thin as 1/8 inch. These knives were made of 100% glass, no metal at all. They cost $2 each and I'm sure this fact tells my age. I don't know if they even make them any more but I'd buy one if I could. Best regards, David

[@alfalpha3454]

Sharpening the end of a toothbrush is another good one, we call them shanks in the UK 👍🏻

[@dlighted8861]

The word shank comes from Cons taking the shank and sharpening the end into a blade.

[@BostonsBoss]

lol shivs in Scotland we call them shanks in USA 🍀☘️🇺🇸

[@BlueSun4886]

Oddly, that is illegal in my current state since the modification is ONLY for a violent purpose (unless you claim you do it to pick your teeth, LOL), though the non-metallic knives are NOT. OTF or dual-sided sharpened blades are only for violent use according to the law - even if only self-defense, so they're forbidden. I'm allowed any one-sided blade fixed knife up to 10" blade and any non-automatic folder up to 5" (a thumbstud or flipper is non-automatic - you just can't have an auto or assisted knife). Why you can have a thumb-stud or flipper or button-lock release, which is virtually as fast as an assisted opener is a mystery to me. The laws in my state are made by people who do not understand either knives or firearms, so they are by nature irrational. You can carry a 10+1 round semi-auto with a second 10-round mag you can swap in less than a second, but can't have a single mag with more than 10 rounds!!! Go Figure. A Push Knife is also illegal, but if you have a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife with an awl or Phillips head screwdriver you can just open the attachment perpendicular to the handle (as it is designed to do) and have a push knife. I don't think any cop or DA in ANY state in the union would realize anything's wrong in carrying a Swiss Army knife - even in California, Illinois or New Jerseystan.

@@rtfmmycompany4498 I was an Aviation Security Officer here in Australia. If the operator cannot identify every item in a bag, the bag has to be opened and either items removed and rescreened until the operator is satisfied there is nothing of concern or a physical search is conducted. Plastic knives are not hard to identify. If it is on the person, a body scan which is being done more often on every person these days will identify it. Trying to carry a knife onto a plane will most likely get you in big trouble. If you need to take a knife on a flight, pack it in your booked luggage where it is not a problem.

A lot of people think ceramic kitchen knives are non-detectable - bad mistake. While the ceramic blade itself is non-metallic, the companies that make & sell these knives put metal filings into the plastic handle material specifically so they are detectable. However, several knife makers are making non-metallic fixed-blade knives that can be easily bought on the internet through the major knife shops in the $50 - $125 range. Bone Tactical sells a non-metallic NPE Ghost "neck knife" with a non-metallic Kydex-like sheath and a paracord neck loop. The loop has a snap fastener so nobody can grab it from behind & try to strangle you with it. It'll come apart. The blade is made of zirconia carbide, which is much harder than steel & is hair-popping sharp. They also sell a non-metallic attachment that will allow you to fix the sheath horizontally or vertically to your belt for IWB/OWB concealed carry. The knife has a patterned rubber handle that shouldn't take fingerprints, so the knife is disposable. There are no markings on it to indicate where it is made. One nice thing about wearing it as a neck knife is that anybody who does an outside the clothes quick patdown (police call this a Terry patdown) never seem to check the center of the chest. They will check the beltline, armpits, down the legs for an ankle weapon & even arms for something strapped to your forearm, but I've never seen a Terry patdown check the center of the chest. While hard & razor sharp, zirconia carbide is also brittle & can break if dropped or twisted too hard against an obstacle (they sell replacement blades cheaply). They sell a more serious weapon, the Bonedurantium Ghost Spike. It is made of nonmetallic kevlar & fiberglass. It is very durable & can last a lifetime. It also comes with a non-metallic sheath that can be worn like the Ghost Knife or, with the optional attachment, can be affixed IWB on a belt. This is NOT a knife. The sides are thin, but not made for slashing. It is purely a penetration device like a dirk. Total weight with sheath is only (IIRC) about 4 oz. If you want a push-dagger (punch blade) that can get through TCA, get a dowel that fits your palm from pinkie to thumb. Drill a hole through it about 3/4 of the way up. You can include the dowel, a decent sized nail & some duct tape (I always have some wrapped around a Bic lighter for emergencies) and just dump them in different places in your luggage. This is sometimes called a "suitcase carry." Once through the TCA line, you can go to a bathroom, put the nail through the hole in the dowel so it sticks out perpendicularly, and secure with duct tape. You hold it with the dowel nestled in your palm as you make a fist with the nail protruding between index and middle finger & you have a force multiplier to your punch that can take out a heavyweight boxer with one punch - or you can keep it in your belt on your weak side &, while grappling with an opponent, deliver enough pokes to his side or abdomen to create the space to flee (or bring out a primary weapon if you are carrying IWB). Some cops carry variations of this - or the Ka-Bar Law Enforcement 2 and a half (or so) inch blade to create space if a perp is trying to take their firearm or prevent them from drawing it. A little ingenuity can go a long way. CRKT makes a good cheap version and ShivWorks makes an excellent fixed-blade "Clinch Pick" with the UPPER side of the blade sharpened (don't forget & put your thumb on it). They also have the best punch blade. Both can be bought online with both sides or one side sharpened - for states that only allow one sided blades. Since these are not impervious to metal detectors, check state laws before going into an NPE with one. I walked into a local police station in Florida to fill out a form, forgetting I had a Ghost Knife around my neck and neither the metal detector nor the wand picked it up (whew!!!). The knife was legal - except in places like the cop shop.

Jason, jn the early 70's Congress asked the CIA why they bought wholesale quantities of the classic metal Cross pens. The CIA finally admitted they were issued to every field agent because they are solid metal but work as a dart or stilleto, and airline security never looked at them. And this was a period when security was TIGHT all over. The TSA still doesn't look at them.

Ha ha, that might be partially why the Hong Kong Chinese love those things, made in Ballinasloe, Ireland, if memory serves.

[@lordphullautosear]

A fine covert edged item can be made from a credit card or plastic I.D. card. Get one of those "quickie" knife sharpeners that has 2 carbide pieces set in a "V" configuration. Pull one of the long sides through it a few times, not much pressure required. It will then be sharp enough to cut like a knife (but not worth beans as a poker). It won't have a safe "handle," but can be gripped with reasonable safety if you practice holding it a certain way, edge out. This can even be done to a current credit card without affecting its usability as a credit card.

My concern with most of these non-detectable knives is that if they were discovered by authorities, deniability would become difficult, perhaps even impossible. As such, any useful item that comes with plausible deniability would seem best. Common items that might be normally carried would seem optimal. I like the yellow tent peg. I could see having two in a backpack, both sharpened, but with dirt caked onto them, illustrating their natural use. Sure, not tucked in one's pants, at least not until one approaches a timeframe when that might be most suitable. The carpenter pencil would be useful as well.

Ceramic kitchen knives would be totally non-metalic, except for the steel bar that the government makes the manufacturers install in the handle. If you carefully cut through the back of the grip you will come to that bar. If you dig around that bar, and remove it, you'll have a non-metalic, non detectable knife that's as sharp as a razor for slashing, and (if your ceramic knife came with a sharp point, you'll have a stabbing weapon as well.

Acrylic has attacked me when I worked in a plastics plant. If a piece breaks off of the tip in a melon, you have another tip already made. I still miss my fiberglass letter opener from the 80s.

Sharpen the edge of a credit card, like Burt Reynolds in Sharky's Machine.

These are all great. Then there is the last ditch, extra set of keys, hold the keys in your palm with one key sticking straight out between each finger at your opponent. You will have 3 legal metal keys straight to the keys, throat, and to rake down the chest/leg you can get it. Stay safe out there!

You could also make a shank out of soap and if you use Lie soap and you stick it into somebody it eats away at the wound making it worse

When I BEGAN High school I had a daily 3 bullies routine issue. Even with a full leg plaster cast my encounter's were daily. Each knew to stay out of harms way of my crutches, big time. To carry necessary papers I had a cardboard based PeeChee, folded in half allowed my Pee Chew to ride into my churches. Routinely I had two of Mom's sewing pin needles that preceded out the tip of both shoes. Them upper class men bullies jump high and far, kinda like being stung by a wasp, I guess. That PeeChee could be held in EITHER hand (ambidextrous South Paw myself) & also necessitated reinforcement by duct tape and other tapes. Still Bendable however, back handed or not my PeeChee and I were together & feared. I could pound a desk with those attached seats & all four feet would come up & off the ground. No person's two hands could remove it from my hands whatsoever. The bullies desperately needed at least a 4th guy to toy with me four months later without my crutches. Then one weekend something REALLY bad happened to them, they lived miles from each other as far as I knew. I had a job pumping diesel at a truck stop, cops even questioned me cuz I'm guessing them guys suggested I could be the culprit behind 6-7 cars being totalled. The guy who lived way out away from school resided at a home built on the corner, ya know, so I HEARD. Of course I had no idea at all ABOUT their troubles that happened Sunday evening, dark probably too. But when I walked out of my audio/video 1st period class, those 3 punks were there just like usual. For some reason, maybe a knock knock joke caused me to smile as I stepped into C Hall. NEVER ever again could them guys see me at school or otherwise or even when a few years LATER and they were Jock Seniors, look at ME & me not be smiling. Maybe they were drugged up or potted out but those itches trembled like a tree leaf on hurricane day. Some other little things occured and for some reason I was deemed "Crazy"! I never had to fight anyone in all four years of high school. I wasn't a bad ass or a jock per set, I let my reinforced peeChee resolve discrepancies. My true kind loving nature survived just like my peeChee 42 years after those FACTS...

Large plastic combs, bamboo back scratchers

how much sulphur for a level three workbench?

[@saszablaze1]

what about carbon fibre? Hemp plastic would be really good. easier to fashion from scratch oneself, too.
