Pocket Butter Knife (sh.itjust.works)

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this community, got a suggestion to cross-post this from !imadethis@lemmy.zip , hope you appreciate my rough looking knife :)

For making sandwiches on the job because I don't like spreading stuff with a sharp pointy knife or a box cutter.

I made the handle with a piece of L shaped aluminum profile crudely bent using clamps.

I then pierced a hole through the blade and the handle and test fitted it. I didn't like how it looked when closed so I decided to drill a new hole after flipping the handle around. (Hence the hole at the end of the handle and the second hole on the blade).

I then riveted everything together twice (one smaller rivet inside a bigger one, no idea if thats a good idea or not but it looks better). Cut the handle to shape with an angle grinder and softened the edges with a file then different grits of sandpaper.

I got the idea for the handle from the Higonokami.

Thanks for reading, let me know if you have adidas for the next version!

I could but if I understand what you're saying correctly, it would also hide more of the blade.
And I'd rather keep it as long as possible to avoid food getting up in there :)

maybe could keep some of that blade exposed still.

Oh yeah I like that!
I might give it a go

I use my fixed blade car knife to make peanut butter cracker sandwiches and yes, I regret having the handle wrapped in para cord right up to the tang when I bought it. Para cord plus peanut butter and crumbs. Just imagine. I shan't post a pic, because a Buck doesn't deserve to be shamed that way.
