Jigsaw Blade Neck Knife

I found an old jigsaw blade lying around in our garage and I decided to make a small neck knife out of it. I didn't do any tempering or hardening of the blade. I just cut the metal into the shape I want but I was extra careful not to overheat it by dipping the metal in a pan of water from time to time. I used a rotary tool to do the job including putting the edge on it.


The blade: 1 1/4" cutting edge.


The tools I used for making the handle and sheath.


The wooden handle and the sheath is made from a branch of a tree I set aside a year ago and is fully dried. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the name of the tree because I didn't know what kind of tree it was.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Everyday Used Knife

Some of you might be wondering what an EDU knife is. On the other hand, I bet most of you know what an EDC knife is. Well, according to a post by Woodsroamer, an EDC knife is a knife you carry everyday but is seldom used while an EDU knife is a knife you carry every day and gets used all day long. In other words, an EDU knife is your utility knife.

I myself carry 2 knives to work, a Swiss Army Classic SD in a key chain and a modified Kershaw Select Fire. I use the Classic SD for small cutting task or when people around me might be freaked out by a bigger knife. Otherwise, the Select Fire sees action most of the time at work.


I removed the serrations on the Kershaw Select Fire knife and cut off its pointed blade tip. The blade now resemble a wharncliffe profile which make it suitable for opening boxes. The Kershaw Select Fire also has a bit driver and 4 standard bits stored in the handle.

The mod on the blade and the bit driver and bits included make this knife a very useful tool in my workplace. An EDU knife indeed.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
