Knack diy handle

[romsitsa]

Thank you! Figuring out the hammered design took longer than expected, but I’m happy with it. Will be nickel plated once the transitions are smooth.

Hello, found an old butter knife with a Catalin handle. After some sanding/polising it’s a perfect fit for the Slim.

What does the inside of a Knack look like?

 

[romsitsa]

Thank you. It’s a tube, the lower 1/3 is “knurled”, this holds the palstic handle, the middle piece incorporates the tto, the upper part holds the base plate. I’ll take a photo tomorrow.

Wow. Looks like something you bought, not made! Great eye, Adam. You're like the Dr. Frankenstein of razors!

Thank you! At the moment don’t have a Knack, only Slims, but the assembly is basically the same. The blue handle is fitted onto the head/neck assembly. The neck has a half circle cut housing a threaded half tube. This half tube opens and closes the head when the tto knob is turned.

That re-used knife handle looks really good. I like it a lot. Thanks for explaining how you go about it.

Gorgeous work.

I was going to ask whether it could be done with acrylic, but I suspect now that the answer is yes.

Thank you. Acrylic is a tad brittle, but it’s perfectly doable.
