A simple kitchen knife

A simple kitchen knife

alt.ascii-art · 7 messages · 13 Apr 2009 - 3 May 2009
Hi all,

Just trying my hand at some art (only done technical diagrams before).
Here is a simple kitchen knife:

           ______________________________ ______________________
         ,/                              | (_)     (_)    (_)   \
       ,/                                |  __________________   }
      /_.............................____|_(                  )_/
                                                    ^
      ^                                             |
      |                                             |
How do I make the tip more               And can this part be done
rounded, and curve from both             more bulging?
directions?


Johann -- hoping these questions are on-topic.

I managed to fix the handle slightly, but the tip still eludes me.

The knife group is where you might get some feedback on technical
aspects of knives. Just because you draw a pretty picture doesn't mean
the thing you draw makes sense...

Can't say it's not knife related :-\

The first knife design is considered a trench knife here in NSW, so is 
on the prohibited weapons list.

The blade as shown is like  many a sax. I'd round off the front top with 
a bench grinder and leave it as is. In fact I've done that a few times.

If you don't care about looks you could test the shape of the handle out 
with putty of various sorts that sets hard.
