From an ordinary stationery knife you can make an excellent, and most importantly, useful mini saw. Which can be put in a toolbox and carried, since carrying an ordinary large hacksaw with you is extremely inconvenient. Also, a mini saw will come in handy on a hike; throw it in your backpack and you will be happy.
Upgrading a utility knife into a pocket saw
All you need is a medium-sized stationery knife itself - it is the most common and a regular blade for a hacksaw for metal. “Everything about everything” will take a minute, maybe two.
So, we remove the blade from the knife body.
We place the canvas next to the blade, measure the required size and make a mark with a marker.
The canvas breaks off very easily; just hold it at the mark in a vice and bend it in any direction. Just be extra careful - wear safety glasses, as a piece of metal may fly off if it breaks.
The original hole in the blade fits perfectly into the knife holder instead of the previous blade.
We insert everything into the body and close it with a cap.
Now you can carry it with you even in your pocket.
If desired, the mini saw is taken out, the blade is pulled out and secured with a latch.
It cuts everything: both wood and metal.
I think this is a very useful thing, especially during a hike.
Advice: the tip of the blade can be sharpened using sandpaper, and as a result the stationery knife itself will not lose its function, but will acquire a new one.
