Folding butter 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.
If you don't know it look it up it's a pretty cool knife!
somebody make a Butter-fly knife!
Hell yeah
If you do, please take my money and give me twelve.
Done! Will post about it later with more pics but here's a sneak peek :)
HELL YEAH!
That’s a pretty fly butter knife.
Neat, you could crosspost this to lemmy.world/c/pocketknife.
I might take some better pics and do so, thanks :)
All the knives I see on that sub are real nice though mine is pretty rough not sure it'll fit.
KNIFE IS KNIFE
(Yours is good :D)
Must a man burden himself with the ownership of a tactical butter knife for the sake of a perfectly level sandwich on the go? Truly an artisnal display of necessity and consumerism.
I like this and now wish I had a problem to solve with your solution.

Feel free to reuse this OP.
Lmao. Thanks
OK hear me out:switchblade butter knife
You guys and your ideas are gonna drive me to make a collection of ridiculous butter knives
just watch out for the bobbies checking your butter knife license
Any opinions on making the handle with something like a 3D printer? I have a similar project I need to do myself for a workbench knife.
If you poke around, there are a few folding (knife, comb, practice balisong, etc) designs out there on 3dp sites
I'll definitely look at those, but I'll probably have to make a custom design. Without going into too much detail, this is a knife that will be repurposed from a salvaged metal-cutting hacksaw blade.
I have no experience with 3d printers but I would say as long as your filament is strong enough I don't see why not.
It would make it easier to precisely design.
You have placed within me the desire for a switchblade butter knife.
I need it.
Nice job, it looks cool.
