Knife

I made this knife while working in a warehouse. The provided knives where too big to easily fit in a pocket and kept getting stolen. It was primarily used to cut through shrink wrap and cardboard.

Despite being made of aluminium it has stood up pretty well. The latch is a fair bit looser than it used to be. One day I plan to remake it using steel for the moving parts.

Goals

  • Use readily available disposable blades.
  • Pocket sized.
  • Lock to hold blade in open position.

Material

  • Aluminium plate (3mm).
  • Bolts and nut.
  • Straightened coil spring.
  • Metal epoxy.

Tools

  • Hacksaw.
  • File.
  • Tap.
  • Cordless drill.

Made sometime 2005.
