The hollow spaces are deliberate, for rat tail or hidden tangs it give the tang flex room to absorb impact. Without the dead space the blade is more likely to break.
Also helps stabilize and anchor the polymer layers on the knife...the material flows into the voids and works like its own epoxy. Those little knives are tough
Your right, I've plenty of half assed that'll do projects in my shed until I took the time to think them through properly! Happy to say there's less of those taking up space. Everyone has to start somewhere, good on him.
Cobalt drill bits with a plasticine ring around the area to hold cutting fluid - much easier than faffing about with a blowtorch & risking the blade temper.
It's weaker than the Morakniv he started with, sure. But that's an inherent weakness to all folding knives. I'd wager it's a fair bit stronger than the Opinel though.
From the amount of them he says he's broken, I'd wager he uses his Opinel for a bunch of stuff you'd usually only ever use a fixed blade for. He said the tip broke off some of them, so I'm guessing he used them as a pry bar. Which is a bad idea even with a fixed blade. In fairness though it's a $15 knife so he's definitely not the only one to abuse them and treat them as disposable.
Wish you would consider selling me the Carbon Ops knives you broke the tips off of. I just need one actually. Don't want to cut a new knife in half just to make what I want.
И нахрена? Мора крепкий фикс страгалка, опинель легкий резак, теперь и не резак и нагрузку такую как на фикс при строгании не дашь. Переделка ради переделки. Шопопало.
If you ever want to try this again, mora does sell knife blanks for 13-15 dollars so you can save time and money not having to cut one out

if you build it, they will come... nice job all around. fantastic use of what you had on hand....
Who?
I had to torch mine for a bit longer at bright red to soften enough for carbide drill!
Absolute genius and class A craftsman - let the creative ideas continue! marvellous vid - thanks for posting
Never underestimate the brainwaves a fella will have in a shed ☺☺

Best video on UA-cam. Keep it up
Nice!
Esespecially cause there are no many scandi grind folding knifes!
Morakniv should really consider making a folding knife
Best of both worlds. 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

Next video : use the leftover opinel blade to build an Opinora.
a morel
an opirel
an opa🤷♂️
an opira/opra
an omirel!
@@fockoffThe "morel" is a mushroom knife, I assume? ;)
That's brilliant! 👍
I literally dreamt about it and you did it!
Enjoy!❤❤
That's beautiful man, obviously opinel is already perfection but I get it.
Nice video 👍
😊
Тоже была такая задумка,когда клинок 9 го опинэля сломался
Viking and French mix... It's a Normandy Knife hahaha
511 blades work
Nice video. I really want to make a folding mora 106 or 120 (the small spoon carving / sloyd knifes )
Volgen keer leg het op een aambeeld en sla er op met een zware hamer !!
I noticed you cannot lock the new blade open.
Opinel is good knife, mora is good knife so let's destroy them both to make one not so good knife :)
As long as the pin stays true and straight, it should be pretty ok. No batonning with this fella
Better blade but ultimately still has the weak point at the hinge. Pretty cool though
Mess up 2 perfectly good knives to make a POS knife.
It's weaker than the Morakniv he started with, sure. But that's an inherent weakness to all folding knives.
I'd wager it's a fair bit stronger than the Opinel though.
Now you have to do the Opirakniv
that was the plan but i killed the mora handle.
awesome mod Ian
Mega cool!!!!!
Genius.
It would be intresting a buck-pinel (buck 110)
why destroy two knifes?
Yeah, kind of pointless.
I agree but he's having fun let the man enjoy himself
There's nothing peasant about the Mora.
Its litterally the definition of pesant in sweden
My Companion & I were almost offended, but realized he didn't mean it in an offesive way?
Nice!!!
Красавчик
"Fuckin' hell"...can I quote you on that?
Try a cobalt bit to drill your pin out, maybe? What do you use your Opinel knives for? Best regards. 🙃

Is. The mora. Carbon. Steel. ?? If it is why. Bother. ?!!!!
Safety first and then he uses the angle grinder 😂
Alternative title: "How to make an opinel resharpen slower and wedge sicnificantly more when cutting? Scandi!"
try put cpm 3v in opinel
заздрю людям, в який повно часу і їм немає чим зайнятися
LMAO
Just buy a knife that meets your needs. Clearly you have too much time on your hands and time is money. Anyway thanks for the laugh.
Too long
🤮🤮🤮
