Small knives certainly have their place in the world. They're great for whittling, bushcraft, cleaning fish and small game, and other precise tasks. But they can't do everything. For the bigger tasks, you need a bigger knife. But why buy one when you could make it for free? Watch how below.

Lawnmower blades are one of those things that most sheds have lying around in a box or pile in the corner. We know we could do something with them, we just aren't sure what. This project answers that question in spades. A lawnmower blade is a perfect resource for the creation of a machete.

The beautiful thing about this project is that you don't have to baby the finished product; it's made for whacking and hacking, so have at it!
