Tactical-Style Folding Knife with Locking Button​

This tactical folding knife features a locking button and rugged exterior design. It prints in about 1.5 hours, uses only 18g of filament, and requires no hardware or glue for assembly—just one blade!
 

Alternative version available: using M3x6mm screw and nut

Tested with Stanley brand blades. Compatible with slightly smaller blades, but larger blades CANNOT be used.
 

Printing: Needs minimal supports that peel off easily. Works perfectly with PETG, PLA (including silk/basic colors). Tested on H2D printer.

 

New Version Update: need one M3x6mm screw and M3 nut.

4.Align both grip halves and press firmly on the snap at the handle's end until you hear a "click".

5.Secure the grips with the black ring part..

6. Insert the utility cutting blade into the holder.  Done!

The strength of 3D-printed knives cannot be guaranteed and they are suitable only for light-duty tasks, such as cutting paper or opening Amazon packages. Unless otherwise specified, all of my knife designs are intended for light-duty use only.
