Step-by-Step Process:
1Cut the PVC Pipe – Measure and cut a piece of PVC pipe about 1–2 inches longer than the tang of the knife.
2Heat the PVC Pipe – Use a heat gun, stove flame, or dip it in boiling water to soften the PVC. It should become soft and flexible.
3 Insert the Knife Tang – Once the PVC is pliable, press the tang of the knife into the softened PVC and shape it around the metal. Be careful—use gloves to avoid burns!
4Shape the Handle – Mold the PVC to fit comfortably in your hand. If needed, use pliers to press and shape it while it cools.
5Cool & Hardens – Let the PVC cool naturally, or dip it in cold water to harden quickly.
6Smooth & Finish – Use sandpaper to remove rough edges and improve grip. You can also drill holes for extra design or grip improvement.
7Optional: Add Epoxy – If you want extra durability, apply epoxy glue inside the PVC before inserting the tang.
Why This Works So Well:
Super Strong & Durable – PVC is waterproof and impact-resistant.
Fast & Cheap DIY – No need for expensive wood or custom materials.
Custom Fit – You can mold it to perfectly fit your hand.
Lightweight & Comfortable – Great for long-term use without hand fatigue.
