Knife making kit.

[Greg]

I have just come across this knife kit, it looks interesting and maybe good as a starter kit for newbees(like myself) to re-handle their own knife!
You can buy either a stainless steel set or a carbon steel set, and its cheap aswell.

I think I might get one just to see what they are like.

that does look like pretty good and cheap enough to learn on and reviewed by our very own John Fenna i see.

@ Mr Fenna, John do you have any pictures of the finished knife you made in the review, i would love to see how it turned out.

Ha! I missed that, I've probably seen the knife in question!

Great little kit!
Here is a pickie of the final item.

Read the good mags (the ones I write for!) and you will often find gems of (my) wit and wisdom........
Strange that although the article is my copyright I knew nothing about the review being used on the web......

does anyone know of a really cheap kit with a full tang blade? as Greg suggested, i want to try handling on a cheap kit before i tackle my 2 SM#1 kitchen knives.
don't care if the steel i s rubbish - it's purely as a practice piece

Gorilla - buy a cheap set of carving knives from your favourite £ shop or woolies - there are some with full tangs - and rehandle them. Makes a nice prezzie for non descriminating cooks as well when you have finished them!

This a good idea the only full tang I have done is a kitchen knife and do not see the need foe another.

Mate

Buy it - make it - be pleased with it

It wont be your only knife, it wont be your best knife but you will love it cos you made it & its your first.

The experience will be priceless.

Cheers

Many thanks for bringing the site to my attention!
They were - no maliciously but due to a misunderstanding - using articles under my copyright without permission.
This has now been resolved to mutual satisfaction.
If anyone sees other articles by me on the web give me a heads up coz it ain't licenced!

I have now made another one and I think they make a good beginners kit and the blades are pretty good for the money

Ive been toying around with the idea of buying a knife kit as my own blade making skills are not that good.
What are they like?

You do not have to buy a kit you could just buy the parts look on Brisa or the Good suff shop for some great stuff.

Kits like the one listed below are fine the blades are good for the money you can buy one sperate for lees than £10.

Here is knife from a kit with some axtra bit of my own
