I posted pictures of this little knife on Randy's Post but thought I would do a separate one.

It's just a hacksaw blade cut with the dremel cutting wheel to a point on both ends. Shove one end into one cork and sharpen the other end. I left the teeth on the end that goes into the cork handle to keep it from pulling out easily.

Not a bad idea. How long is the blade?

What is that knifes primary purpose? It looks like it would be good for scoring/marking cutting lines.

Nice recycling.

The blade showing is a little under 1 ¼ inches long. I used a short foam plastic cork for the sharp end and a 1 ¾ inch natural cork for the handle. The hacksaw blade overall length is about 2 ¾ inches long.

The knife has no specific purpose but I like to keep it around to open packages, cut tape and other miscellaneous things.

I cut a metal cutting band saw blade into 3 inch lengths when I was making carving knives. Whenever I had time or got tired of carving I would grind one of the pieces into different shapes and sharpen it. Since I was using the corks for blade protectors, it was easy enough to stick the other end into a cork and use it as a handle.

I recognize the brand on the cork

I made a very similar marking knife out of a jigsaw blade. I used a wooden handle though.
