Hellhound blade for OTF switchblade

thingiverse

One [more](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4096221) blade for [David6722](http://www.thingiverse.com/David6722)'s [OTF switchblade](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3619717). This one is based on the [Microtech](http://microtechknives.com) Hellhound. I really don't plan to make a career out of plastic knives, I just couldn't pass this one up. See the [original thing](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3619717) for the rest of the pieces and instructions. This blade should replace the standard one with no changes. (It's a little shorter, to keep it from looking skinny.) > **Note:** The original OTF knife has disappeared from Thingiverse. If there's a story behind that, I don't know it. [This](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3697794) is a remix of it, so the blade is likely to work, but I haven't tried it. (If you do, maybe you can leave a comment to let us know.) > **Less Important Note:** I've finally seen the real Microtech blade, which I'd imagined was much larger than this but turns out to be almost exactly the same size on the Ultratech knife. Except it's a little longer and skinnier. Go Figure. ## Printing The blade comes in single- and double-sided versions. The single-sided blade prints with no support, and the double-sided version needs support. You can print the double-sided version on its side. You can also print it lying on its spine, with the edge facing up, with a raft. The "off" side of the blade comes out much cleaner, though the spine and holes need cleanup. If you print the blade with a high infill setting, you get a more satisfying sound and feel when it snaps open. ## Designed with **[Shapr3D](https://www.shapr3d.com/)**
