Be able to trade or just buy with your money. But what if you don't feel like spending your money? That's right, you can print yourself a knife using the drawings.
Naturally, this knife will not be in the game, but somehow you can rejoice.

Knife drawings

If you want to print a knife, and then draw it with high quality or make a knife from corrugated cardboard, then for this we have attached screenshots, and with their help you can first print the knives, and then do whatever you want. I will say right away that making a real copy of a knife is not so easy, so set yourself up for a good sweat. Having made a knife, throw links to photos in the comments and I will publish the best ones in the article.

Butterfly knife drawing

This knife will be the hardest to make. Therefore, I advise you to first make some kind of simple knife, for example, a hunting knife. The butterfly will be the most difficult to make, because you will need to come up with something in order for it to spin. And it won't be so easy to do it.

The screenshot was taken in real size, so that you do not look for unnecessary sizes. Having printed out the knife, you yourself can measure what you need.

There are a huge number of different knife options. In fact, manufacturers go out of their way to make something original and different from other products. It is also functional at the same time. But all their creations can be reduced to several base profiles, on the basis of which the masters are already beginning to create. And today we are just about these basic blade profiles for knives and let's talk. Just in order to begin to understand the issue a little better.

1. Blade with a straight butt

One of the most common models. And not only due to the fact that such profiles much easier to manufacture, but also due to its versatility. Such a knife copes not only with specific tasks, but also shows itself perfectly in everyday practice. An increase in the fillet is acceptable - this gives a large cutting edge and slightly facilitates further work. It pricks well, cuts well. Often found in common kitchen knives.

2. Drop-Point

In this case, the point is slightly shifted relative to the butt line. The upper cleavage is either even or slightly convex. Due to this, the effectiveness of the thrusting blow is increased, since the point of application of the force coincides with the tip. The very geometry of the blade makes it easier to enter the material and pull it back out. In addition to stabbing blows and movements, it cuts well. Often found in knives intended for. The butt is usually not sharpened.

3. Trailing point

In this case, the point, on the contrary, is raised relative to the butt. This increases the cutting edge, but piercing becomes extremely difficult. Perfectly cuts soft tissue. It is often found in national knives designed exclusively for processing hides and carcasses. The butt can be sharpened, which significantly increases the versatility of using a knife with such blade profile.

4. Clip-Point

Also called Bowie type, after Colonel Bowie who is believed to be the inventor of this profile... The point is even lower relative to the butt line than in drop-point profile... Due to this, the effectiveness of the thrust is even more increased, since the point of application of the force is located practically on the central axis of the blade. The top bevel is a concave notch that is sharpened. It can be either short or elongated. This significantly expands the scope of the knife, especially in flaking. Such blade profile it is often observed with combat knives, since it copes equally well with both piercing and cutting blows. In the second option, you can use both the blade and the sharpened recess, causing additional damage when pulled out after a piercing blow.

5. Scramasax

Quite specific profile... It is also called Wharncliffe Blade. It looks like they took the standard version, turned it over, and then sharpened the butt and blunt the blade. Ideal for scraping and provides a perfectly straight cut, as the cutting edge is uniform over the entire length of the blade, without any bends. Can be used for slashing blows. Not suitable for stabbing. Due to the nature of the application, it is rare.

6. Tanto

More precisely, "American Tanto". Classic Japanese knives with this name were straight-toed blades. But in order to simplify manufacturing, some craftsmen began to confine themselves to two even cutting surfaces, instead of one rounded one. Due to its shape, it perfectly withstands strong stabbing blows on hard material, without the risk of breaking the point. Provides a good cut as the cutting surface is uniform. Deals well with chopping blows. Often found in combat knives.

7. Spear-point

Or spear profile... Ideal for stabbing, provides deep tissue penetration and easy pulling. Double-edged. Most often found in combat or hunting knives and daggers. Other applications are extremely limited, so this blade profile is relatively rare. However, this profile is very popular among throwing knives.

8. Spay-Point

This profile most often used for hunting knives used for skinning. The shortened blade provides more control over the cut. The upper bevel is not sharpened to prevent damage to the skin during operation. A large curvature of the cutting edge provides a more efficient cut, and the center point allows for efficient piercing of dense materials.

9. Hawkbill blade

Blade profile shaped like the key of a bird of prey. The point is thin, well below the center line of the knife, giving the blade a sickle shape. It is this part that is sharpened. This form is extremely ineffective in everyday life and work, but for the application of cutting wounds - the very thing. Classic karambits- this is exactly a hawkbill.

10. Needle-Point

Classic stiletto. Narrow, long, double-edged. Very specific application, for household and household needs is practically useless. Only for piercing your neighbor.

11. Gut-hook

If in drop-point profile make a small hook on the upper bevel, sharpen the inside of which - we get profile gut hook ideal for butchering game. With its help, it is very convenient to cut the skins and gut the prey. And the rest - the same efficiency as drop-point profile... It is better not to use it only for hard thrusting blows - the hook noticeably reduces the strength of the blade when applied in the center.

These are the main and most common blade profiles... In addition, there are more narrowly specific options, for example: sheepfoot, dagger point, shark tooth, but more about all this sometime next time. Moreover, many simply consider them to be varieties of the main options.

The Bowie knife is a great tool for the fisherman, hunter, hiker, and even the average worker. These knives are distinguished by a massive long blade that can withstand impressive loads. Only the sight of this knife will make the enemy shiver down the back, and he will not want to have anything to do with you. Thanks to these instructions, you can easily make such a knife with your own hands. It doesn't have to be made of high quality steel if you want to use it as a souvenir.

A good knife will need steel that can be hardened. Typically, this type of steel is used in the manufacture of tools, springs, various cutting blades, and so on. You will need an impressive piece of sheet metal as a blank for Bowie's knife. As it, you can easily use a piece of spring from a car. So, let's start making a knife.

Materials and tools used

List of materials:
- sheet steel (for the blade);
- brass plate (for the guard);
- wooden block (for the handle);
- epoxy adhesive.

Tool list:
- forge;
- anvil with all forging tools;
- gas-burner;
- ;
- ;
- files;
- sandpaper;
- polishing machine;
- drill;
- vice;
- .

Bowie Knife Making Process:

Step one. Forging
To form the desired profile, the author decided to use his forge. We heat the metal red-hot and work with a hammer. With this approach, you can display the main profile of the blade. Of course, you will have to sweat here, because the workpiece will have to be heated more than once to get the desired result.


Step two. Modification of the profile
After forging, we need a belt sander. With the help of it we form the final desired blade profile. It needs to be sanded from all sides, both along the contour and along the planes.

Step three. Support for the guard
Determine where the guard will be. You need to focus on it. Now we clamp the blade with the tail up in a vice and use a file to work on the stop.


Step four. We make a guard
The guard is made of two brass plates. We take the first piece of brass and grind a groove in it so that it can be put on the shank until it stops. The author first drills this groove with a drill, and then modifies it using flat files.

As for the second part, it is done according to the same principle. Between the two halves of the guard there are two plates of textolite or similar material.


When you have all the parts ready, glue them on the knife shank using epoxy glue. Then we clamp the guard in a vice, and remove the blade. We leave the whole thing to dry for a day. Then we take out the workpiece and bring it to the desired profile using files, sandpaper, belt sander, and so on.

Step five. Moving on to making a handle
You will need a block for the handle; any wood of your choice will do. You will need to make a hole in the bar for the tail of the knife. To do this, we drill a number of holes in the workpiece, depending on the width of the shank.

Now we need a burner, hold the blade with the tail up and heat it. As soon as the shank is red-hot, we put the handle on it, because of the high temperature in the handle, the seat will burn out. It is possible that the liner will need to be heated several times.


Now we take a jigsaw and cut out the main profile of the handle, what it will be, depends on your imagination. Immediately after that, you can proceed to sanding. Either an orbital sander or a belt sander will help you. We form the desired
handle profile.

Step six. Final work with the blade
Grind the blade thoroughly on a belt sander, remove all cavities and other defects. The next step is to harden the blade, for this the metal will need to be red-hot. Take a magnet with you, if it does not react to hot metal, it means that the workpiece is warmed up to the required temperature. After that, we lower the blade into the oil. You can use both mineral oil and vegetable oil. Be careful, the oil will often ignite when immersed in metal.


Half the work has been done, there is one more thing left - this is the release of the metal. Thanks to this procedure, we will teach steel to spring, that is, it will not be brittle and the blade will not crumble when it hits a strong object with a knife. For these purposes, a household oven is usually used. We heat the blade for an hour at a temperature of 200-300 ° C, and then let it cool with the oven. That's all, now we have got a blade of excellent quality. Try to scratch it with a file, if no scratches remain, then the steel is properly hardened.

In the end, all you have to do is polish and sharpen the blade. At the end of the work, wrap it with newspapers and tape so as not to get hurt and not cover the blade with glue.



Step seven. Glue the handle
We coat the tail of the knife with epoxy glue and proceed to assembling the handle. Install the guard first, make sure that the glue firmly fills all the cracks. Now pour glue into the hole of the handle and set the tail of the blade. Press the handle onto the blade with light hammer blows. We leave the glue to dry for a day, and preferably two, so as not to risk it.

First, a few words about the creator of this truly great knife. James bowie
James Bowie (1796-1836) - was born in Kentucky. Adventurer, businessman, slave trader, revolutionary. Repeatedly participated in hostilities and duels. Killed in Mexico defending Fort Alamo. The knife that James Bowie had in his hands during his last fight is estimated at $ 2.5 million.

Bowie knife, or as the Americans themselves call it "Colonel Bowie's Knife" - a large knife with a characteristic blade shape, having an arcuate concave bevel of the butt to the edge. Nowadays, this type of blade is called Clip-point. The length of the blade varies from 14 to 23 cm, the thickness of the butt is 2.5-5 mm. The length of the upper false blade is 1/3 of the length of the blade. At the base of the blade there is a recess, or an unsharpened area for a finger for more delicate manipulations with a large knife. The knife has a simple massive cross-piece that provides support for stabbing blows. The handle is either straight with a downward bend at the heel, or symmetrical, expanding and resembling the shape of a coffin.

Initially, the handle of Bowie's knife was made of two wooden plates attached to a massive shank. The knife is perfectly used with both direct and reverse grip. The shape, simplicity and balance of the Bowie knife are ideal for throwing. One of the main advantages of the Bowie knife is that it is excellent at both cutting and stabbing. The stabbing effect is achieved due to the fact that the edge of the blade sharply narrows and is located on the axis of the handle with a developed guard, and the ease of cutting is due to a sufficiently large curvature of the blade. Also, do not discount the sharpened notch on the butt of the blade, which, with skillful use of the knife in battle, can cause considerable damage during the reverse stroke of the knife.

THE LEGEND OF THE CREATION OF BOWIE'S KNIFE TAKOVA.

Mid-30s of the nineteenth century. James's older brother, Reason, once while cutting prey on a hunt, working with a knife without a crosspiece, almost cut off his fingers when his hand jumped off the handle. After this incident, Reason decided to design and make a knife for himself that would be safe to work with. And this knife was made. Massive, with a comfortable handle and a large crosshair. The blade was forged from a file, which was rare in those days, since the steel used in files was very expensive. But there were knife-lovers in those days)). This knife had a blade length of 235 mm and a width of 38 mm. Perhaps this first copy would have remained the only one, but James's hot temper played a role here. James at this time was in strong conflict over financial and land issues with the local sheriff, and as it should be in the Wild West - it came to a shootout.

The sheriff shot James, but the bullet hit his chest watch. After that, hand-to-hand fighting ensued, during which James tried to use his penknife, but he could not cause any tangible harm to the sheriff, and the law-abiding citizens who were nearby separated them. After this incident, Reason gave James his knife so that he would always have such a formidable weapon with him. And the time to use this knife in mortal combat soon came. A few months later, on September 19, 1827, on the banks of the Mississippi, near the town of Natchez, a duel was organized. The coast was not chosen by chance - it was a neutral territory where state laws did not apply. The very duel between the duelists after several shots "in milk" ended with a truce and mutual apologies, but among the seconds was James Bowie, on the one hand, and the same sheriff on the other. And this meeting became fatal for some of the participants.

After the duelists retired to celebrate the formed world, a real bloody battle began, during which James killed both the sheriff and his assistant with his knife. During this fight, James also received gunshot and stab wounds. Thanks to this incident and word of mouth, James Bowie became a celebrity throughout the day, and his knife is truly a totem weapon. From that day on, a real boom and hysteria in the Bowie knife began. Every guy wanted a Bowie knife. Rush demand has arisen. Knife factories produced these knives in great numbers. Buying a bowie knife was every American's dream. Moreover, Bowie knives were made not only in America, but also in Europe.

Bowie Knife Peak falls on the late 1850s and the beginning of the Civil War, when the Bowie knife was the main melee weapon for the Confederate soldiers.
The era of the Bowie knife began to roll in the second half of the nineteenth century, when America's next weapon idol, the Colt revolver, entered the scene. Then the saying arose "they don't get a knife in a shootout". With the advent of multiple-shot firearms, the Bowie knife has become increasingly used not as a knife for self-defense, but as a hunting knife. The length of the blade has decreased significantly - up to 14-15 cm, the bevel of the butt has lost its sharpening. Garda has ceased to be so massive.
Today, the Bowie knife has retained its distinctive shape and traditional shape. Now these knives are classified as hunting, camp or survival knives.

Many boys, although there are probably also adult men, fans of the computer game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive think about how to make karambit out of wood? It turns out that everything is not as complicated as it might initially seem.

Tiger claw

"KS: GO" is a popular computer toy for boys of all ages, over 13-14 years old. Its plot is primitive, but the arsenal used by the characters is striking in its vastness. From edged weapons to firearms - everything is used to complete a rather controversial mission. Among the knives included in the KS-ki collection, as gamers briefly call the toy, the most remarkable knife is the karambit. It has the shape of a tiger's claw - just as curved and inflicting the same lacerations. On the handle of the knife there is a round hole for the finger - for a better grip, and also to flaunt such a weapon, scrolling it with all kinds of somersaults. You can buy almost real karambit by ordering it in one of the online stores. And you can ask the question abouthow to make karambit out of wood with your own hands, and find a solution.

Base - thin plywood

It is enough just to cut the karambit out of several pieces of plywood, then glue them together, sand and paint them. Such work resembles - the middle of the knife is the largest part, then parts are evenly located on both sides, decreasing in scale. Such a toy will be safe enough, but quite realistic. The graphic layout of the karambit is shown in the figure.

And here are the individual parts indicating the thickness of the material used and the number of pieces.

Assembling the model

Having cut out all the necessary parts from the plywood with a jigsaw, they must be cleaned of dust and degreased. For gluing parts, synthetic wood glue or casein is suitable. It is necessary to use glue strictly according to the instructions so that the layout does not crumble over time. When the karambit is thoroughly dry, a hole for the thumb is drilled or cut out on the handle. This stage of work should be as accurate as possible so that the layout does not break. When everything is ready, the kerambit must be sanded with zero sandpaper and again cleaned of sawdust dust. As you can see, the question of whether how to make a karambit knife out of wood has a not too complicated answer.

Solid wood

There is another option forhow to make karambit out of wood. But it is available only to those who confidently work with wood, feeling the wood, knowing the techniques and principles of working with tools for such creativity. The most suitable wood for handcraft is linden. The block must be well dried, without cracks. The dimensions of the workpiece are taken slightly larger than the desired dimensions of the karambit. In order to correctly solve the problem - how to make karambit out of wood, you need such tools for handicrafts:

  • knives with a fixed blade made of carbon steel having a hardness of 55-60 RC (blades must be different in size and configuration);
  • chisels of different shapes of the cutting edge;
  • vice;
  • drills of different diameters.

For such work, not only a drawing-scheme of karambit is needed, but spatial imagination, which helps in the correct construction of the stages of work.

Below is a photo of how the solid wood karambit will look like.

Artistic creation

Little to knowhow to make a karambit out of wood, you also need to paint it so that it looks like a real one. There are several options for coloring (skins) of the knife in the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: from "Clear water" to "Murder". There are professional artists who, for a certain fee, manually paint models of karambits for real ones.

But you can try to color your own karambit yourself. It is best to use acrylic paints - they mix well, harmless, dry quickly and do not get dirty. The skin can be viewed on the "KS: GO" website, or you can come up with it yourself. The main thing is to turn on the imagination and desire to make a beautiful thing, similar to the real knife "Tiger's Claw". Good luck!
