RE: How to Make a Knife #2 - Materials
I've always had a fantasy with creating some blades from my favorite movies/games. But i guess the biggest challenge is how do you cut the steel? What kind of machining do you need, or do you heat it up and hammer it down by hand?
Your safest bet is an angle grinder with a cut-off disc - you can get the small ones really cheap or borrow one from your friend. You can find more info in my What Tools You Need post.
You could forge it to the approximate shape, but for a first knife, I would stick to cutting and grinding.
