So I've been watching Uri Tuchman who makes nice looking knives using just a blow torch and an oven, so I was hoping I might be able to do the same....
Definitely looking at eBay for handle blanks, but I'm wondering if I'm insane for wanting to grind and shape the blade myself with just a hacksaw, file and vice...
Definitely do-able for a utility knife. I'd advise getting / making a blade clamp though. Mine is made from an offcut of steerer tube and cut in half curtain rail. Makes holding the blade at different angles much easier.
