I've wanted to share this for a while and now I can since I finally found my camera, I like knifes and camping so I decided to make my own sheath knife, from a butter knife

I know its really freaking ghetto but I'll admit it the reason I made it is 95% getting attention, 5% for the sake of having a useful knife/tool

Looks like a shank.
You will do well in prison.

What do you mean getting attention? Do you live in a place where having a ghetto knife at your side is beneficial?
Serious though, do you plan on busting somone out of prison or something? That does look pretty cool nevertheless...

I should find mine and post it. It's a piece of 1/16" thick metal strip that's 7/8" wide. It doesn't bend, it's frickin' dull, it's got a thin layer of rust from being outside for 4 months, and I love it!

Nice, I made one out of pvc, super sharp and has no metal. Maybe I'll try and dig it up.

haha yeah guess it is. My favorite was one I made in english class out of some plastic I ripped off a clock nearby, sharpened it with my car keys and the edge of my desk. Took me two hours, but the damn teacher took it away.
And we may want to leave the shanks in the spudgun out, we might be aproaching lockdom with that one. (would be a cool "lawn dart" though).
