I wanted a draw knife to work on a self bow with but being frugal (read cheap) I didn’t feel like paying $30 to $100+ for a good flexible wood working knife. So seing as I had some time to spare and an abundance of imagination (read as “inability to focus”) I made my own. I really just shot from the hip with the dimentions.
Materials:
-Cheap $6 machete that I never use.
-broken maul handle
-2 part epoxy
I cut the parts out with a dremel and cut off wheels (went through about 7-8 ). I’ll probably try to use the rest of the steel for broadheads someday. after cutting the handles I cut the grooves in them with a recipricating saw, the saw blade was about the same thickness as the steel. Then I hammered the handles on with a coat of epoxy. I also put epoxy in the grooves on the sides. Then it was just a matter of putting it on the grinding wheel and finishing it off with the file. It ain’t pretty but she works great!
