In this woodworking video I attempt to make a useable wooden knife by taking wood that’s already naturally hard and infusing it with resin to make it even harder to see if it will cut and maintain a sharp edge. In the first hardening technique, I’m using a product called Cactus Juice in conjunction with a vacuum chamber. The purpose of the vacuum chamber is to remove all the air naturally in the wood and replace it with resin. This is then baked in a toaster oven to harden the resin. The second technique is much simpler and uses a very thin resin called penetrating epoxy. This is just wiped on and soaks into the wood. I also make a 3rd knife using the same Brazilian chestnut without hardening to compare the 3 and see which technique works best. All of the handles are then made out of steel making these “reverse knives.” Watch the video to see if this experiment works!
