- Making a knifehandle out of pants and a shirt is easier than you might think. In this video I'm making an EveryDay Carry knife (EDC), with handlescales made out of fabric and epoxy resin pressed together.
Steel: 1.2003 / 75Cr1 / 1075 + Cr
Tempered: 200°C (392 °F) for 1h ≈ 59-60 HRC
Weight: 92 g / 3.24 oz
Finish: Blade: 400 grit sandpaper
Handlescales: CA Glue 1000 through 5000, then buffing compound

The Polo joke was gold, I never wear mine in public. Make great nightwear shirts 😂
And great knife handles 😄🙌
I love this knife and how you made the Handle.
Thanks! I really want to make more micarta in the future.
"Now I finaly shut up and show you the result" - best outro ever lol 😂!.. Great Job Sven! I love the handle shape- looks very comfortable! I've noticed that if you file the plunge line inversely (so the spine is closer to you and the bevel further) the plunge line looks better and the risk of scratch is less. About the micarta: Make a U shape frame from OSB and with 2 OSB boards squeeze it in the vise (or screw)- you get perfect flat surfaces and also the air will have better way to get out while epoxy is curing.
Thanks, D! Those are great ideas. I'll definitely try filing the plunge line inversely. I already made a press, but if that one doesn't work I'll try the U shape 👍
Outstanding work, and your videos are really entertaining. Keep it up - the almighty algorithm is bound to pick you up pretty soon!
Thanks a lot! I‘ve actually had a lot of luck with my puukko video but it‘s nice to see someone found this one aswell.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, it really helps out a lot!
You should think about building a folding worktop on wheels so you can just move it where you need and slide it against a wall folded up when you're done. It wont be the biggest workbench but it can be extremely useable. I've done that for my room. Tiny room but its the only place I have since I rent with 2 other people in a small house. Without it I would be dead in the water. Woodworking is in my opinion a top 5 skill everyone should learn and use for problem solving
That’s a good idea! I’ll consider that for my own workshop in the future
Thanks for watching!
My wife's the same way about MY space 😡 My man, that came out awesome! From the homemade micarta, to the file line that looks like it just straight out belongs there, ya done good! The sheathe looks great to. All-in-all a perfect EDC for sure 👍🏽
Thanks a lot! It sure was a fun project. I now made a proper press for this aswell 😁
@@NjordArtisan We just need to work on getting you a proper anvil! Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, you can check a local landfill, or scrapyard, or even a junkyard, and you just might get lucky. OR you can just Google it 😅
@@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG Yeah I sometimes have a look at local offers, but they are just way too expensive for me at the moment 😵
Pretty cool !
Thanks!
Buen video broo 👍 muy interesante
Thank you!
Sehr schönes Messer, um das Micarta zu pressen könnte man mal so Power Zwingen versuchen (Piher Maxi-F Hochleistungsschraubzwinge) die schaffen ca. 900kg Anpressdruck.
Knife came out cool.Handle look good. Airin from Aleeknives do ricasso with hands check him out👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Airins videos are great, I haven‘t watched that one yet, thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Well I'm sure the police know all about you and your knife making.
And why would they be so interested in that 😅
My man. Find a new girlfriend. This is your passion and you are trying to make these videos your job?
Nah that was just a joke, maybe it didn't come across quite how I wanted it to . She is a huge support with everything I do with CZcams and knifemaking
@@NjordArtisan shes right behind you isnt she? Blink twice if you need to help
