I save the stainless steel strip used to stiffen windshield wiper blades when I change them. There are 2 kinds, one is a flat strip and the other has bevelled edges and is identical to the strip Kemper uses in their trimming tools. Both work well. All I do is bend the strip to a shape I find useful and bring the two ends together for an inch or so. Drill a hole in one end ( or both if you want 2 tools on the same handle ) of a hardwood dowel to make a snug fit and glue the two ends into the hole with CA glue. I usually bevel the end of the dowel to 45 degrees on a sander first and wipe on some polyurethane finish.
