Hello everyone,
I’m new to this community, got a suggestion to cross-post this from !imadethis@lemmy.zip , hope you appreciate my rough looking knife :)

For making sandwiches on the job because I don’t like spreading stuff with a sharp pointy knife or a box cutter.

I made the handle with a piece of L shaped aluminum profile crudely bent using clamps.

I then pierced a hole through the blade and the handle and test fitted it. I didn’t like how it looked when closed so I decided to drill a new hole after flipping the handle around. (Hence the hole at the end of the handle and the second hole on the blade).

I then riveted everything together twice (one smaller rivet inside a bigger one, no idea if thats a good idea or not but it looks better). Cut the handle to shape with an angle grinder and softened the edges with a file then different grits of sandpaper.

I got the idea for the handle from the Higonokami.

Thanks for reading, let me know if you have adidas for the next version!

    Well, you certainly delivered, gg!
    (And a proper, detailed description too.)

    So when next knife?
    A BBK (butterfly butter knife)?

      Thanks!
      A BBK would be awesome.

      While writing this answer about how it would be so much more difficult to build and it would probably stay a dream, I remembered I have an old butterfly comb that is terrible as a comb (it’s metal and the teeth just rip your hair off).
      But I might just be able to use the handle parts and hopefully find an effective way to attach the blade! Don’t hold your breath though… I’ve been thinking about this folding butter knife for more than a year before finally getting to it. And I don’t know where that comb is.

        Just glue the pocket knife to the butterfly comb to produce a pretty fly butter butterfly pocket not-comb knife.

        Well, you seem to like to do things proper so we await your next masterpiece Christmas 2026.

            It’s not even Christmas 2025 & we already get a butt-butt(-flyer) knife? It’s a miracle!!

            Ok, daily new knives from now on fully expected.
