How Do You Make A Knife Out Of Wood?
A wooden knife often seems impractical, but it can be a valuable tool. If you are lost without a steel knife, a piece of wood may save you a lot of frustration. While wood will never be as sharp or durable as steel, when treated correctly, it can be made sharp enough to perform basic tasks. Follow these steps to make your own wooden version of this common tool. Select a blank for your knife. The wood should be a close\ grained hardwood, though any type will do in an emergency. A thin 2-inch tree branch can be worked easily. If you use a processed wood plank or a thick tree limb, you must split the wood into smaller pieces using a hatchet or saw. Remove the bark from the limb and test it in your hand. If your grip is comfortable around the branch, use the widest area as your knife handle. If it is too large, work it down to a comfortable size using wood rasps. If you have chosen to split a plank or large limb, take one of the pieces and round off the edges using a wood rasp or sand pape
