8 inch DOUBLE EDGE knife kit/DIY KNIFE KIT/PAYNE BROS (ZEBRA)
8 inch DOUBLE EDGE overall knife kit, 3.5 inch blade. Although this blade is a "double edge" the top edge is a false edge (not sharpened). Some states do not allow two edges to be sharpened. This top edge can be sharpened if you so choose. Made from 440c stainless steel. The blade comes sharpened and polished to a high shine finish, but can have a better edge put on it once the knife is made. This blade it very sturdy and holds up to a lot of abuse! 440c steel is easy to sharpen, and slow to dull. The blade has two pilot holes to guide you where to place the pins. These will need to be drilled out to the correct size pins. Normally we will ship 1/8 inch pins in this kit, but check to make sure. The kit includes the blade, the wood scale indicated (2 pieces of wood, the correct size for the blade handle), the correct size and number of pins (brass or nickel), and detailed step by step instructions. We also have several videos posted online to help visualize what the process is. This is a simple project that can be a starter knife for beginners. You will need something to cut the handle material (scales), a drill for the rivets (Pins), a clamp or two, and sandpaper. We also recommend a five minute epoxy to attach the handle to the blade. The photo is of a comparable kit. We are a small business located in Springville Utah, made up of family members. We strive to provide the best quality knife making materials and knife kits possible, from the experienced knife maker to the first time beginner. Often we are asked if a teenager or inexperienced knife maker can accomplish making a knife. Our answer is always YES! We started off as brothers putting together a knife kit together one weekend. We loved it so much that we turned it into a business. It is an awesome simple project for all ages. We have over 25 wood types we keep on hand, along with making resins, stabilized woods, wood micarta, laser engraved woods, fractal burned scales, bone, horn, and more!
