I had a knife blade cut ( from 10 inches to 4 inches) and now have about 7 inches of knife blade laying around. I asked the guy to grind (dull) about half of the sharp edge length. Now I have something like a knife with no handle. I asked him to drill two holes so that I can fix some wooden hadle on it but he said the steel was too hard to drill.

So, I am thinking to do more dulling to the knife edge , and then wrap in in duct tape to make a small utility knife.

Other than duct tape , do you have any ideas ??
