Custom Knife Making: The "No Belt Grinder" Drop Point Knife. Knife making with common tools.

Thank you for joining me on my channel. Today, we will be making a Drop Point Hunting knife, using only commonly available tools that you will find at any local hardware store. No belt grinder was used for this build. I made this knife using 3,2mm 1070 steel for the blade, 3,2mm steel pins, 6mm Carbon Fiber tube for the Lanyard hole and Rhodesian Teak for the scales. Feel free to use whatever you have available or prefer. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.
