How to make a knife out of paper - instructions + templates

How did balisongs or butterfly knives appear?

Experts cannot agree on a definite version of the appearance of the device. Philippine historians associate the pieces with heirlooms passed down by family members from generation to generation in the 18th century.

According to another version, the products were a symbol:

• water;
• sky;
• land.

However, excavations did not confirm this assumption.
The second name is balisongs. Means "thundering" or "broken" horn. Scientists have found that the most ancient handles were made from animal horn. There is written information about this device, which dates back to 1905. At the same time, in Batangas there was the first production of products similar to modern models.

Blacksmith Perfect de Leon was the first master craftsman. It was based on noble metals, and the total length of the handle and blade reached 29 cm.

The European version was in demand in the 18th century. The ruler was designed on the blade and handle. Thus, the product is a direct descendant of the conventional folding model. There is an opinion that Europeans modified the Philippine exotic version.

Americans consider themselves creators. During the fighting in the Philippine Islands, the knife passed from American soldiers to Japanese soldiers. It was accessible even to local residents.

Butterfly knife design

Folding mechanism. Opening, the blade comes out of the handle in which it is hidden. The handle consists of 2 plates with an area for the blade.

A blade connects to each half of the handle. This is what contributes to the opening and rotation of 180 degrees in the direction opposite to the blade.

Full opening results in exposure. A one-piece structure is formed by connecting two handles. Opening makes it possible to fix the handle. The product does not fit very comfortably in the hand. Not ergonomic.

The structure consists of:

• blade;
• latches;
• 2 pins;
• handle (divided into 2 parts);
• 2 hinge axes.

Steel butterfly is the modern name. The blade is based on high-quality metal, and the handle is cheap and light steel.

This contributes to:

• maintaining mass balance between the handle and blade;
• bringing into combat mode by inertial movement with one hand.

How to use drawings

You need to print the sketch onto cardboard or thick paper. The scale of the drawing and the knife should be one to one. If another person will make the workpiece, the requirements should be detailed and the dimensions indicated on the drawing. Cut out a stencil and lean it against a sheet of metal, circle it with a center punch or marker. Make the workpiece with a margin of 1-2 mm and then remove the excess with a file or other tool.

Is it possible to make a balisong yourself using a drawing?

The design of a butterfly knife is quite simple, so to make it you will need a drawing and materials for the knife. The drawing can be found on the Internet, and materials can be purchased at special knife stores or you can sharpen all the elements of the knife yourself. The easiest way would be to take a Chinese “donor” and replace the blade and handle lock on it. This way we will get a high-quality knife, not inferior in quality to branded analogues.

I am interested in martial arts with weapons and historical fencing. I write about weapons and military equipment because it is interesting and familiar to me. I often learn a lot of new things and want to share these facts with people who are interested in military issues.

The butterfly knife or balisong is a compact and very beautiful knife. The popularity of this knife was brought about by the way it was opened. Thanks to the design, there are a large number of ways to open the knife, which makes this process attractive.

Before the advent of karambit, the butterfly knife could often be seen in films and games. The knife has excellent versatility, thanks to which it is actively used by tourists and hunters. There is also a whole subculture of “flipping”, where various methods of twisting a knife are used.

Kunai Dagger

One of the serious paper products can be called a Kunai knife. The paper art of origami is used to construct it. Before you begin the manufacturing process, you need to find two landscape sheets and several sheets of colored paper.

How to make a ninja knife from paper:

Kunai Dagger

1. We take a landscape sheet as a basis, fold it and get a triangular shape. Fold the resulting triangle in half, and then unfold the workpiece to its original position.
2. We wrap the corners to the center line and fold the craft in half. Next, we have protruding ends, which we bend into the resulting pockets and thus form the blade of our future craft.
3. Pressing the edge in the shape of a pyramid with your fingers, we lift the paper a little to achieve volume. We take a second sheet of paper, roll it into a tube with a small diameter and insert the blade five centimeters deep.
4. Next, use your fingers or a sharp object to level the edge of the tube and repeat folding several more times. A handle with a tip should form. At the end, we fix the craft.

Many people want to make the craft heavier and put a coin or pebble in the middle. This is how a ninja knife is made, there are many more options for making knives. Many are trying to learn how to make karambit from paper, we will also tell you about that, but a little later.
