Step 1 : find some wood for the knife base
glue 2 extra wood for the knife handle

Step 2  : shape the wood according to the knife design you desired, 

cut shape and installed the front and rear "bolster"

i cut mine to a semi-circle shape for the front and a circular round shape for the rear. 

material used for bolster are PVC.


 

Step 3: make some "fin" design on the blunt side of the blade 

and some "straight groove" on the handle for grip and decoration

(make sure the knife fit inside !!! very important !!!)
