Story
The Sharp Side Of Subtlety
Most men aren't going full Crocodile Dundee, strutting around town brandishing a 16" bowie knife and screaming "That's not a knife! This is a knife!" at anything remotely pointy-looking. That social production of masculinity is a bit much even by our standards--unless you're Australian, in which case... good onya, mate!
There's a case to be made for subtlety, and routinely carrying a folding knife is the perfect balance of convenience, preparation, and discretion. And the only thing more reassuring than having a trusty folding knife clipped to the hip is knowing exactly how that knife came to be.
Cold As Steel
Assembling the skeleton of a folding knife is just like putting together IKEA furniture, except it's extremely tiny, won't break after two months, and will draw blood if done recklessly. This knife is constructed from many tiny parts, the majority of which are too small to be choking hazards, so swallow away.
This AUS 8 Drop Point Blade is made of heat-treated and sub-zero quenched stainless steel and boasts an incredible temper and hardness of 57-58 HRC. The knife's thumb studs and liner lock make it easy to open and difficult to accidentally cut fingers off.
Tough As Linen
For exceptional presentation and durability, we've selected Linen Micarta handle scales made from layers of hardened resin linen. Think fashion-forward, fossilized mummy wrap meets intricate wood grain pattern, then pick your jaw up from off the ground.
We've also included a portable bench vise, file, and rasp set, sandpaper, and Torx wrenches for assembling and shaping the knife handles to its perfect, palm-fitting specifications, as well as an instruction booklet to make sure the knife gets assembled pointy end out.
The Folding Knife Project Kit gives the equipment, expertise, and unforgettable experience of assembling and shaping a trusty and true folding knife.

Awesome product and customer service
I got this project box for my husband for valentines day. He LOVED it! He thought it was so cool and was very excited to get started. He also said the tools included are super handy as he does wood working and metal working and he can use it for future projects as well.
Our box came with a few missing parts so I messaged the guys at Mancrates and they not only refunded our previous shipping cost, they also sent us an entire new package (since they don't carry the pieces individually) at no cost to us, and said we can keep the previous incomplete box! It means extra tools for my husband and a raving review from me :) Love Mancrates and I will definitely be ordering from them in the future! -

My. Dad. Loved. This!
Got this for my pops about 2 years ago. He's very good with building thingsand putting things together so it only took him a day or two. What I DIDNT expect was the amount of time he would take to find the perfect image to carve onto the handle of the knife! It was about 8 months that he spent meticulously looking for what to carve, and then went out and bought carving supplies! My dad retired so I really appreciated the time he spent messing with this. Im constantly looking for little DIY projects like this to keep him busy. He loved it and was so proud when the whole thing came together he couldn't stop talking about it! Great gift!

Christmas gift
My boyfriend is someone who loves new projects and challenges. He loved the kit and could not wait to start working on it. The kits a bit pricey, but his excitement, and experience making the knife along with the finished product of nice quality knife is well worth the price. Would recommend this kit for any person who loves hands on projects.
