Bobba Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 On a whim I thought about making my own knife from a kit. I’m not an engineer and have no equipment hence the thought about a kit. I was amazed at the price differentials. Some £10-£15, others £50-£150+ Presumably the difference is due to the quality of the steel etc. I’m interested in the more quality end with blades which hold their edge. Not sure yet whether fixed or folding blade. Does anyone have experience of knife kits and can offer recommendations please on manufacturer etc? Thanks.

Walker570 Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I do not know if they would ship to the UK but have a look at JANTZ SUPPLY www.knifemaking.com no shortage of choice there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky1 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 You’ll want something like k390, rex, or zdp189 if you want edge retention. It all depends what you want it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
