.philmypower. Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi guys my brotherinlaw / best friend has had a bit of a rubbish time lately so to cheer him up I would like to make him a hunting knife for Christmas. I'm not the best person at DIY but not the worst. Can anyone recommend me a site to buy a good starter kit from. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 The best knife site I know is hennie Haynes, just give it a google. They do kits to make yourself or completed knifes to dribble over, proper knife porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 No, and you only need basic tools ie. a drill, vice, rasp/file and sandpaper and a few hours spare. I've made one of the Karesuando kits and thew are pretty good for the money, and then I bought another blade and made a handle from an old walnut stock. Just remeber to polish the blade before you put it together as you'll get a better finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I did one from a kit a few years ago, it came out well, but you do need to be quite handy to make them. http://www.uttings.co.uk/Product/938/107421/karesuando-knife-making-kit-10cm-swedish-sandvik-stainless-blade-3527s/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olib007 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 You weren't wrong about knife porn, the first knife I saw was slightly out of budget though sadly http://www.heinnie.com/Rockstead-UN-ZDP/p-0-0-7327/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
