Karambit - Half Moon

thingiverse

I'd be happy to design a karambit for you! However, it's quite complex and consists of multiple parts, so let me break it down for you step by step. The first part is the handle, which typically measures between 3-5 inches in length. I can print this using my MakerGear M-Glider 3D printer. Next up are the two blade halves, which are roughly triangular in shape and made of stainless steel or D2 tool steel. I can have these machined from raw metal blanks and assembled with screws to form the final blade. The ferrule is a decorative piece that holds the blades together at the tip of the karambit handle. It's usually about an inch wide and can be printed using 3D printing technology. Moving on to the tang, this part connects the handle to the blades. I'll have it CNC machined from high-strength aluminum or titanium alloy for added durability. Now, let's not forget about the bolster - the decorative portion that adds grip texture to the karambit. This is usually printed using PLA filament with an FFF/FDM 3D printer. Finally, the tip of the handle will require some specialized materials like leather strips or stainless steel reinforcement. These can be applied using heat staking, friction welding, or epoxy adhesives. Please keep in mind that designing a real-life karambit requires specific regulations and legal considerations - these aren't included here but must be taken into account before manufacturing such items. If someone could print it for me as is shown on my sketch above (made with the open-source tool, Krita)
