Butterfly Knife in Katana Style

I designed a butterfly knife featuring a subtle katana-style blade. To give the knife a modern appearance, I removed the traditional curve of the blade and replaced it with a minimalist taper. The result is a unique design that blends tradition with modernity.

 

 

Assembly

The knife's design has been intentionally kept simple to make assembly as easy as possible. You only need a bit of filament to attach the handles to the blade. Be sure to align the handles correctly during assembly!

The holes for the filament pins are designed to be tight enough to hold everything securely on their own. I strongly recommend avoiding the use of super glue, as the pins could break and become difficult to remove. Without glue, the pins can be easily replaced if necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

Assembly Tip:

Position the blade and handles, then simply insert some filament into the holes. Cut it to the correct length, and use a bit of heat and pressure to thicken the ends. This prevents the pins from slipping out, and if one breaks, it can be quickly replaced!

Fun to use and an easy print although there is an overhang that needs to be fixed on the blade.

It is this part circled at the end of the blade.

@Nshark10 Actually, there should be a support tree at this spot. I'll quickly check the file. Thanks for your support! 👍😃

It’s very nice, however I think probably not a good idea to print with PETG, the handle gets stuck on the blade on the left side, it might be my problem and I’ll sand it down a bit.

@RealMew Thank you for your great review! Is that translucent PETG? I just received it this week but haven’t printed anything with it yet, looks cool!👍👍

Yeah it’s translucent PETG, takes longer to print compared to PLA but it does look good, for example.

Printed perfectly. Used a small metal filing rod to widen the holes a tiny bit to allow the filament pins a smoother fit. Hammered either end to secure it and it works a treat! Thank you for this awesome print.

@vargnaar Securing the pins by slightly flattening the ends is really clever, and I can't stop thinking about it ^^. I just see a small potential issue: the hammering could compress the pins and make them more prone to breaking over time. However, your approach inspired me with this idea! Simply heating a piece of metal or something similar and pressing it onto the pins to slightly deform them could work just as well, ensuring they hold tightly. Thanks! Thank you for the inspiration! 👍👍👍👍🤩

Hahaha thanks for making my day with that comment. I am overwhelmed by the creativity I see on this site and your work is no exception. A friend of mine who does machining for a living had mentioned it was basically riveting the hinge pins and seeing as this is just a bit of plastic, I am not too worried about having to replace the pins if I starve them of tenderness :P. I want to print another off, paint it properly when the primer arrives and try your heat press idea. Thank you again <3

@user_2172687610 I've never seen anything like this before. I can't tell you what happened there, but all my parts are neatly arranged on the plate in the 3MF file, and the slicer should usually give you a warning. It definitely looks spectacular though ^^ I hope the printer is still okay!

it was lucky I caught it half way through! I reprinted it and it was fine I'm not really sure what happened, great model though!

Replying to @Tommy3DLab :
I think most improvements would end up complicating the model (eg: using bearings or adding balance weights) I really like the design though, so I am going to try and mess around with some different materials and ideas and see if i can come up with something worth your time

It turned out great but I’d highly recommend running it through your slicer and not the app. I sent it to my printer while at work and was amazed by the amount of poop when I got home. Perhaps I did something wrong tho (?) 🤷🏻‍♂️ I used a P1S with AMS through the app

@oFerrari Thanks for sharing and for your feedback. The amount of poops should be correct since you printed the MultiColor Blade! It consists of 148 layers, and there's a color change at every layer, so that's 148 poops ^^ You’d have significantly fewer poops if you had used the 'AMS Fast' profile. 👍😄
