The knife is simple, there is not much need. Puronvarsi blade, Zebrano, stainless steel 5mm, tube 8mm.
Marking the guard angle. I redraw the size and shape from the original..
To bend the blade evenly, I made such a clue.
Drill by 3mm cobalt drill. The least favored activity, grinding 5mm stainless, it is a chore..
Drilling hole on blade, drill bit 4mm. I cut the right angle on a band saw.
Ready to stick. I was roughened with 40-grams and degreased with technical acetone and alcohol. The guard is polished from the front with a felt-felt felt disc. What is to be protected from the adhesive is covered with a covering tape.
Glued and 24 hours pause.
Hole for 8 mm stainless steel tube. I cut the approximate shape of the handle on the armor.
I first broke pretty roughly on disk 40. Then just slowly manually gradually 80-400-600 and constant control of shape and symmetry.
Peeling on a clean, felt disc.
Making a Puronvarsi blade is just a joy.
It deserves a pretty good sheat, but the next time.
