In the world of cutlery, the durability and grip of a handle are essential for functionality and comfort. While traditional materials like wood, micarta, or G10 are commonly used for knife handles, they can be expensive and require advanced skills to work with.

This article reveals a little-known trick to making knife handles from PVC pipe—a method that is simple, cost-effective, and gives common materials a new life.
