Hello everyone.
I'm just starting to get into knife making (been making aluminum training blades for a couple years now).
I am wondering what would be a good method for drilling out the finger hole for a Karambit knife.
The hole would be either 7/8" or 1" in diameter.
I've tried drilling with a stepped drill bit but found that it hasn't worked too well so far. (440c steel before heat treat).
Since I literally work in a room of my house, I don't have any large or elaborate set ups (yet).
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
