In this video I show you how to make a simple utility knife using ONLY $100 worth of tools from Harbor Freight!

YES, there are better ways to do this, but the idea here is to show people that its not hard or expensive to make your first knife!

Below are some links to tools I used in this project (or similar items, I tried to keep the prices down)
