How to recover from a broken handle of the knife.

For quite a long time to buy a set of kitchen knives with plastic handles. Over time, these plastic handles began to fall apart. Apparently this plastic.

We had to do something about it and I decided to make a handle of wood instead of broken.

Plastic handle fastened on the blade by means of rivets and metal parts of the knife from the holes remained these rivets. These holes I decided to use for attaching a wooden handle, but I did not want them to be through. The solution was simple.

For the handle of the knife, I chose a pair of cherries dosochek. In our region, the cherry grows as a shrub trunks and meet more than 10 cm in diameter is difficult. Although the knife is not required of such size, you can even use branches with a diameter of 4-5 cm. That is the thread I used... naturally dry.

So, two tablets of approximately 10 mm. The contour of the knife made a markup. From the marked path indented outward in a 3-5 mm was drawn another line and have the new layout had two parts. This reserve is needed to compensate for possible inaccuracies in the sawing and gluing later.

Next again for the knife I spaced holes in the details from the side which will adhere to the metal.

Further on marked holes drilled blind hole about 5 mm in depth and a diameter in the knife handle.

The next step is made of the same diameter dowel and cut it into pieces of 10 mm. You are ready to assemble.

In one of the strips pasted dowels, smeared it with glue, including boring machine, and put on the blade of a knife. The second part is also smeared with glue and combined with the first and clamps tightened. For gluing use PVA carpenter dries it gives a clear stitch here though this turns out very thin seam.

When the glue has dried, grinding off all unnecessary. Polished very carefully to his hand was comfortable. Then soaked with linseed oil. And that's what happened:

By the way, you can still be impregnated by paraffin candles, then just have a good warm knob to paraffin gone deeper into the wood, and then polished.

This handle is used for longer than plastic. The handle on the photo for more than 6 years, and the plastic began to fall apart for the third year.
