- Knife Making Kit, DIY Knife Crafting Gift Set for Men, Dad

Bought this for a friend's birthday and it was a big hit! He works well with his hands and like outdoorsy things so this was perfect. Clear instructions to follow and sobgreat that vital came with all the tools needed.

I received the knife making kit as a gift, which first off I thought was very cool & different. Upon opening the kit i noticed it comes with a fully shaped blade, your objective is to craft the bolster & handle. While this might sound like a breeze, it is certainly some work....so as long as you're up for a project, it is very fun. The box comes with everything you need including tools, plus instructions. You just provide the manliness to craft it, and perhaps a few minor tools such as a hammer & drill. This is certainly a project for someone who likes to work with their hands & enjoys projects. I've not fully completed the knife yet, but will update when complete. All told, it's a quality gift & a fun project to work on.

My husband loved this set!!! The design was definitely great quality was good. Durability was fantastic and it’s super sharp after he got it all built.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is one of those people who doesn’t say a lot and you figure out if he likes a gift by what he does with it. So many things end up on a shelf and still sitting there. Not this.. he immediately took everything from the box and studied it. He wanted to use it right then but company was coming and he had to put it away. As soon as everyone went home it was set up on the table and he worked it every spare moment he had until it was done. He has some carving and lots of building experience so it wasn’t difficult for him. Someone who had never done this before needs to allow plenty of time to put it together and patience. He did cheat a bit and used a Dremel and some of his wood working machines to do the initial cutting of the handle and later some sanding. He did carve and hand sand on it and enjoyed it. It took him about 2 weeks to complete doing it in his rare spare time. He has since gotten another knife kit and is about to start working on it. Finally a gift he liked!

I wanted to get into knife making and this was a great way to explore and start. One thing I did learn is that the wood scales they provided are not stabilized wood. This means that the wood will shrink and expand with the change in weather. Eventually this could lead to the cracking of the wood handle. There are ways to prevent this from happening so do your research. Overall I really enjoyed doing this project and plan on finding other kits to try and make gifts for family.

Great gift- well received

Ordered this for hubby - he loves to tinker. This was perfect. He’s been busy with it for a few weeks. He did manage to cut himself on the blade- lessons learned. It’s a great gift!

It's a knife making kit. It makes knives. Knives it makes. Well, really it makes a knife but you get to be the cool person that makes a knife. If you have ever wanted to make a knife but want to keep your eyebrows, this kit is for you. If you prefer to go the eyebrowless route, this kit is still for you because home forges are expensive and knife kits aren't as expensive. No one had to know that you didn't forge the knife, all you have to say is "yes, I made this because I'm cool".
