Hurtoi Alexandru Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Can anyone help me. I can not find a good patterns for knives. I want to make a bushcraft knife, something like this (other models are welcome): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Not sure what you mean for a pattern. I just draw up different shapes that I like. You can print out a picture off the computer, and use that as a pattern, if it is in a profile. Maybe look on a site like Frost Cutlery, or knife manufacturers to find different designs that you like. There are sooooo many knife designs, and not every knife feels good in the hand for everybody, so just make what feels/looks good to you.

aquamanlr Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Have you seen these sites. KnifeDogs.com or British Blades.com They are both knifemaking sites. LeeRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBower Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Exactly what are you looking for? You just want a profile drawing of that blade and handle? If that's all you're looking for, I'll custom make you one for, oh, $50? I'm just kidding. But seriously: get a pencil and a pad of paper, and start sketching. That's about as fancy as the patterns get around my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 There is a book of knife projects out there that has a number of different blades in it that could provide patterns. Won't be able to look for my copy till late next week as my library and myself are not sharing hemispheres right now. Remind me then if someone doesn't cough it up sooner? Like me: abebooks.com to the rescue! Custom Knifemaking: 10 Projects from a Master Craftsman (ISBN: 0811721752 / 0-8117-2175-2) Tim McCreight They show several copies for sale starting around $10 + $4 shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
