Cutters with their hands.
It has long wanted to own a weapon of self-defense type serreytorny knife KARAMBIT. Prelesnoe defense weapon: lightweight, small, well-cut cloth, meat, tendons, not stuck in the hair, well, looks demoralizing. Not intended for thrusting "fatal" strikes - extremely shallow painful cuts.
"DIY" in 27 photos. Try not to break.
1. Knife Smith & Wesson H.R.T. is good, but only in the original, which is expensive. I bought a copy of the Chinese site for 200 rubles.
2. However, in my soul sunk blade shape Spiderco Civilian (worth even more expensive, bleat).

12. Teeth turned povyrazitelnee than the original.
13. clench thrust pad of the thumb.
14. Getting to the quenching. The technology is quite simple: warm up the blade to a uniform red color directing the flame on the thickened portion of the knife, not to overtempered thin section, sharply drop the knife in used motor oil for 2 seconds, then into the water. Kalil only the blade to the middle of the finger holes. Tempered twice - first nedokalil.

16. Abrasive mop remove black kaku and conduct primary polishing.
17. Number of years later, unspecified shovels handy tablet. Make a handle.
