‘Steaksaw’: This Is What You Get When You Combine Steak Knives and a Power Drill

From the same man who recently showed us how to take ordinary office supplies and turn them into survival weapons, now comes a tutorial on how to make a DIY power saw from common kitchen utensils and something you may already have on your tool bench.
Joerg Sprave, who runs the Slingshot Channel on YouTube, uses eight stake knives and a battery-powered drill to create — you guessed it — the “steaksaw.”
Sprave explains that steak knives are relatively cheap, readily available and “really dangerous.“ ”But of course,” he says, “We want to max it out.”
He connects a power drill to a pulley system that will then turn the radial display of steak knives that he has mounted on a wooden wheel, making, in essence, a homemade chainsaw.

Posted on May 20, 2012 at 6:38pmI suppose this is what people are reduced to when a government limits or denies access to guns. It kind of reminds of the scene in Braveheart where the big redheaded guy brags about his prowess with rocks.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 7:02pm@DEVAN….I was thinking that it will be awkward, when one of those knives flies off and cuts off his wee wee…but, I guess he will have proved that his “steak saw” is also capable of carving up various kinds of sausage, as well……

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 5:26pmWow nice reporting Blaze… This is why the majority of you will vote Romney because instead of educating yourself you read articles about knife saws or pictures of people with leaf blowers in their faces. It affirms my belief Ron Paul supporters are more educated considering this would not fly on any libertarian web site, but for Neo Con‘s it’s the zenith of journalism.
