7.75 Inch Stainless Steel Boot Knife Kit - 440C DIY Knife Making Supplies for Beginners | Payne Bros Knives | Hunting, Camping, Survival & Outdoor Activities

7.75 INCH BOOT KNIFE overall knife blank, 3.5 inch blade. This knife has both edges sharpened. Make sure your state does not have a law against this (some do)! Made from 440c stainless steel. The blade comes sharpened and polished to a high shine finish, but can have a better edge put on it once the knife is made. This blade it very sturdy and holds up to a lot of abuse! 440c steel is easy to sharpen, and slow to dull. The blade has two pilot holes to guide you where to place the pins. These will need to be drilled out to the correct size pins. Normally we will ship 1/8 inch pins in this kit, but check to make sure. The kit includes the blade, the wood scale indicated (2 pieces of wood, the correct size for the blade handle), the correct size and number of pins (brass or nickel), and detailed step by step instructions. We also have several videos posted online to help visualize what the process is. This is a simple project that can be a starter knife for beginners. You will need something to cut the handle material (scales), a drill for the rivets (Pins), a clamp or two, and sandpaper. We also recommend a five minute epoxy to attach the handle to the blade.
