Easy-peasy craft knife

[Red Beard]

@Heydeerman recently suggested turning some broadheads I had into neck knives. Didn't go that route, but I did spend a couple minutes with the 1" belt grinder and made a resharpen-able craft knife.

Have a spare minute or two? Dig around in your busted bin, grab that bent broadhead, a broken arrow, and make yourself a box opener for all those saddle hunter packages you got coming!

Pulsing multicolor lighted nock is coming as soon as I can locate one.

You can also take your broken arrows that still have the fletches on them and a pack of cheap bic pens from the dollar store and make arrow pens!

I really like that. I'd put a pen instead of a nock and a Kydex sheath for an entirely practical EDC item. I'll have to keep my eye open for some cheap broadheads, all I've got in the parts bin are Montecs which probably won't lend themselves so readily to this application...

My guess is paper tags are a thing of the past in your state like they are in mine, but if not...

Been a while, but I thought you had to notch your tag in VA and write a confirmation number on the license

It should make a pretty handy scalpel for caping out, or trimming meat.

Is there any other way to join kydex without rivets? I have a sheet of kydex but no rivets.

Yes. You can drill holes and stitch it, you can use nuts and bolts or whatever else you have on hand. Heck, even a strong two part epoxy works.
