Color Changing Knives DIY

After years of unsuc­cess­ful search­ing for prop­er knives sets and not find­ing them, I decid­ed to go for myself and make them up. Here is the pro­ce­dure, which will give you some nice knives and sets in any col­or com­bi­na­tion you might want.

First of all, I use some of the cheap imi­ta­tion knives from Chi­na. They are basi­cal­ly ripp-offs of the clas­sic Enar­doe knives, but they work well here, because they are very cheap­ly made and you can eas­i­ly remove the han­dles, spray paint them and glue them back to the knife. You could get them here.

After hav­ing sep­a­rate all the parts (which is quite easy because of the cheap glue and slop­py work­man­ship they use) every­thing is cleaned from the glue. Then I spray paint­ed the parts in the col­ors I want­ed.

Last step is to assem­ble them back again in the desired col­or com­bi­na­tions (using prop­er glue this time). Ready for all the fan­cy and exot­ic knife rou­tines!

Who said copies are bad? They only give you extra work and trou­ble re-build­ing them into the prop­er thing …
