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 …
