What type of knife you have depends largely on what tasks you face ahead. Whether it’s a tool you require for creating ribbons for tinder, for cutting rope to set up your shelter, as a means to build other useful tools, or to use in place of a small shovel for various digging jobs… you will need a knife.
Some want it for the primary purpose of a weapon, but a knife is so much more than that.
A knife is an essential component to add to any survivalist’s inventory. And many survival knives can become rather pricey. I'm sure you're well aware of that if you're a prepper who has quite the collection of knives.
After purchasing several expensive knives, are you looking for a knife that won’t break your budget? Using scrap metal, you can actually make your own for about 15 cents.
Take a look at the video on the next page to see how to make this incredible DIY knife!

I make mine from old Mill bast are files
……just buy (from a Thrift Shop) an old Carbon Steel “Old Hickory” Butcher Knife and be done with it….if you are handy (or have the means) have one modified. WICKED SHARP! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QDKQbV5G4SM/UxN6zJXD68I/AAAAAAAADyE/Dq0a3djJA8Q/s1600/IMG_7775.jpg
Power hacksaw blades make good blades too

I’m all for making a decent knife. This is just about worthless. You can buy better knives at the local mini mart for $2.99. Better knives at the dollar for $1.00 or .99 depending on where you chop. You can buy a huge survival knife at Harbor Freight for $7.99
If you want to make a knife, make something worth owning.
