making knives

Making knives involves selecting appropriate steel, shaping it into a blade through forging or machining, and then refining its edges with grinding and polishing. After shaping, the blade is heat-treated—heated and cooled precisely to improve hardness and durability. The handle is then attached, often using adhesives or fasteners, and final polishing is done for a smooth finish. Quality craftsmanship ensures the blade maintains sharpness, balances well, and is comfortable to use. This process combines metallurgical knowledge with skilled craftsmanship to produce a functional and reliable cutting tool.
