We are all used to the fact that the handle for the knife should be made of wood or plastic, less often - of metal. But metal handles also look beautiful, especially if you make them from nuts and plumbing couplings.
In this review, the author also makes the knife itself (from a metal plate), but we will consider the process of manufacturing the handle.
And first of all, the edges on long nuts and couplings need to be slightly rounded with a metal file. If desired, you can process the edges with a drill.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the surface of the elongated nuts is cleaned by a sandpaper to shine. You can also use a grinding nozzle.
Now you can begin to manufacture the handle itself. And for this, simply connect the nuts using plumbing couplings. A total of 3 nuts and 3 couplings are required.
As a result, we get a comfortable and ergonomic handle. The knife itself is stored inside the handle, which allows it to be transported safely.
By the way, if necessary, you can easily expand the functionality of the handle. For example, twisting a tee with plugs on it, you can get a hammer.
For details on how to make a handle for a knife with your own hands from long nuts and water couplings, see this video.
