[QUOTE="Verrt, post: 1165022, member: 16296"] Bet you have an old knife, some wood or other shapable material, a couple of large nails for pins, a file, a saw, and a spoon of creativity. Just Amazon some two-part epoxy and you're good to go. :thumbsup: Ruin one of those nice kitchen knives you showed the other day. Got some old pedals? Carve the blocks into new sides for your old swiss army knife. Think like a rat rodder! A kit is fine by me. I'm sure you'll add in a little something to make it all your own. Most of the kits make you get your own scales separately, anyway. Technically I'll be using a kit, but the scales came separately, and I'm gonna try add an extra fiddledeedee in that may be massively overestimating my skills and blow up in my face :bigsmile: Doesn't get more rat rod than that. But I'd say want to go more towards the [I]wood handle held on to a sharpened piece of scrap steel with strips of a leather belt[/I] variety, than the [I]broken glass shard wrapped in a cloth[/I] kind. For a build off it should really be your steppin out shiv, not your disposable shiv. [/QUOTE]
