🔄 Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Cut the PVC Pipe – Measure and cut a piece of PVC pipe about 1–2 inches longer than the tang of the knife.
2️⃣ Heat the PVC Pipe – Use a heat gun, stove flame, or dip it in boiling water to soften the PVC. It should become soft and flexible.
3️⃣ Insert the Knife Tang – Once the PVC is pliable, press the tang of the knife into the softened PVC and shape it around the metal. Be careful—use gloves to avoid burns!
4️⃣ Shape the Handle – Mold the PVC to fit comfortably in your hand. If needed, use pliers to press and shape it while it cools.
5️⃣ Cool & Hardens – Let the PVC cool naturally, or dip it in cold water to harden quickly.
6️⃣ Smooth & Finish – Use sandpaper to remove rough edges and improve grip. You can also drill holes for extra design or grip improvement.
7️⃣ Optional: Add Epoxy – If you want extra durability, apply epoxy glue inside the PVC before inserting the tang.
🔥 Why This Works So Well:
✅ Super Strong & Durable – PVC is waterproof and impact-resistant.
✅ Fast & Cheap DIY – No need for expensive wood or custom materials.
✅ Custom Fit – You can mold it to perfectly fit your hand.
✅ Lightweight & Comfortable – Great for long-term use without hand fatigue.
