Did the plastic handle on the scissors break? Do not rush to throw them away. They will make a compact folding knife that you can take with you for fishing or just for nature.
To make a knife, you need only one half of the scissors. However, from the second half you can also make exactly the same knife. Why is nothing good to disappear?
First of all, the author glues a template to the blade of the scissors, according to which with the help of a grinder cuts a blank for the future knife.
After that, it will be necessary to cut a piece of metal tube and make a longitudinal slot in it and drill a hole.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master makes a handle for a knife from a piece of solid wood. At the bottom of the handle you need to make a slot in which the knife will hide.
Next, put the metal sleeve on the end of the handle. Then we drill a hole on the side.
We sharpen the knife on the emery machine, and then insert it into the handle and fix it with a rivet.
At the last stage, it remains only to treat the handle with mineral oil or simply varnish the wood.
