Putty knives are great tools because they are rigid, sturdy and fairly inexpensive – if you break one, you do not have to break the bank to replace it.
They do, however, over time, wear down and become less and less effective when used for their intended purpose.
When that happens, you can, with very little effort, make your own Bushcraft knife – which re-purposes the putty knife and turns it into something useful again.
The nice thing about this project is that if you lose or break the knife, you really only lose the time you invested in making it from an old putty knife.
As a utility-type knife this knife is as good as any you can buy in a store, for a lot more.
What other hand tools can you re-purpose into other survival items? Leave some suggestions below.
Ok I like somr of your advice. But seriously who the f–k has a putty knife n a jigsaw. Really???
As a guy who loves working with leather I just want to show you the same type of sheath but this one will stay on your belt

People only have one or the other.

Ive done the same with a crosscut handsaw and made a good machete out of it.
Turn it into a nice Ulue for chopping vegetables just by sharpening the edge.
