How To Make A Karambit Out Of A 21mm Wrench
ZNA Productions just made this video a few days ago showing you how to make a really sharp Karambit out of a 21mm wrench. Now obviously you could make a smaller or larger one, he just chose a 21mm. I personally like the smaller versions of this. Before anyone wants to start trolling this guy keep in mind he isn’t a master blacksmith with 20 years of knife making – but with that being said, he still makes a pretty alright knife. If nothing else at least you get a general Idea. Maybe you want one of these but you don’t want to make your own – you can get you one here
How To Make A Karambit Out Of A 21mm Wrench
My second ever attempt at blacksmithing a knife, today I’m making this knife out of a 21mm wrench from home depot.
So you don’t know anything about this? Well I’ll show you.
This is a traditional karambit
The karambit is believed to have originated among the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra where, according to folklore, it was inspired by the claws of big cats. As with most weapons of the region, it was originally an agricultural implement designed to rake roots, gather threshing and plant rice. As it was weaponised, the blade became more curved to maximize cutting potential. Through Indonesia’s trade network and close contact with neighboring countries, the knife was eventually dispersed through what are now Cambodia,Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and the Philippines. Via – Wikipedia
