Patent ID: 8065942

Claim:
A method for producing a knife, the method comprising the steps of: a) preparing an armoring element having at least one bar extending in an axial direction and at least one connecting means disposed at an end of said bar, wherein at least one transverse part is provided on said at least one bar, which radially projects past said bar, said at least one transverse part having holes extending in said axial direction; b) preparing a knife blade having a tang bearing a counter piece; c) connecting said counter piece to said connecting means, said connecting means and said counter piece communicating with each other in a secure, frictional fashion in a transverse direction, wherein a front side of said transverse part is flush with a flat end of said tang, thereby preventing tilting and rotation of said knife blade relative to said armoring element; and d) applying a haft material to at least partially surround said tang and said armoring element, said haft material extending into said holes of said transverse part, thereby increasing a strength of fixation of said armoring element in said haft material.
