This is my first post in knife section
It’s all because of the Mumbai "Churi Mochi Gang" specialy Moin he is the main culprit to spared the knife virus & I decided to make my won knife
First I brought a Rotary Tool (Indian Clone of Dermal) for Rs. 1,600/- it come with few accessories so brought some more Dermal cutting wheels extra

Next I brought Mirandaa Randha Blades to make the knifes from Chor Bazar

This was my first attempt to make a knife so I started with some simple knife

After successfully completing the first knife I started to make Boker-MA-2 type knife
I found original Boker-MA2 knife small so I make my knife little bit bigger than that

Hi Pratik,
WoW :D
Your Boker is simply magnificent - The profile, Finger vents, slot, grip etc. are well shaped & ground.
The overall finish is very good!
Congrats :D

Thanks Moin ,Dr.Jayakumar & Najad

Rotary tool is CLIF make Mini Die grinder MDG32A which cost me Rs. 1,600/-with 6 months warranty it come with a flexible Shaft which still I have not used & 40 Nos. of accessories like few cutoff wheels, sanding bands, drill bits, some grinding stones etc .
I never used Dremel Tool so can’t compare it with dremel but I am totally satisfied with the performances

Pratik, the tool looks very much like the Dremel 300 I have, I would say identical copy. And at 1/3rd the cost, looks like a steal!!

How did you get the finish? I am trying to get a mirror finish on the blade made from the same material, but the steel is so hard, it's taking ages!
