I was cleaning around the shop and found an old broken garden scissors along the wooden pieces. So, I thought to make a knife from scissors’ blade and handle from scrap wood. First thing I had to do was scissors blade restoration and making a knife out of it afterwards.

Officially this is my first knife build project and please note that this is not ‘how to make a knife’ post or video! Further, depending on your feedback I might make more of knife making videos in future. Let me know what you think, thank you!

Restoring scissors’ blade first.
Firstly I disassembled the scissors. Then I sanded the blade for a while one blade to get this shiny look below. Also I sharpened the blade’s edge.

Next step was to start making and shaping the wooden handle. I did that by drawing the shape, cutting with hand saw and glued together. After drying I used file to flatten the wood and got this!

Then I cut a groove for the blade and drilled it for brass peens. Furthermore I was testing fit of the blade and new handle.

After testing the fit, I marked and chamfer all edges on the handle. I was really pleased to see the result after doing this.

Before I started assembling I wanted to polish the blade and make it really to pop out. On the picture below is nice and smooth handle and polished blade.

Finally assembling and showing you guys the result. Even though this was my first knife making project, I think it came out alright.

Thank you a big time for checking out this post!

Very nice again.
And again I love the handcrafts with no electrisity 👍
I honestly like you innovation ideas, But on this once, you’ve created an extremely weak handle this time. Not only is there no metal through the handle, but you glued end grain to the darker decorative wood and all that is behind the metal support in the front of that end grain glue up. That never holds up to any stress. Nice to look at and display, but I honestly do think it will come apart if used… Thumbs Up!
Bravo pour tes restauration juste manuellement c’est du super recyclage de vieux outils et ça fait du bien à la planète…
Great job man you did an awesome job I can’t wait to see the next knife you make out of that other piece of scissors

Hey Boris, nice resto-transformation!
The handle looks really good. And the linseed oil gave it a nice final touch. 👌
Looking forward to another one.
So the 3 pieces of the handle are held together by wood glue. Whats to stop it snapping as soon as pressure is applied to it?
Nice work 👍
Dude I like this video ! We want more ! keep it up !
great video bro

Hey everyone!
I made this knife from things laying around! I know it is not great, but for my first knife making project I think it is alright. Anyway, I would love to hear feedback from you guys regarding making knives! Would you like to see more of them in future?
Thanks and stay happy!
See you next Monday 😊
