The Karambit is an ancient Indonesian knife from the eleventh century. A karambit combat knife can be made without resorting to . To make a high-quality, neat small knife, we will use simple tools for removing metal, that is, a regular hacksaw, emery, file and sandpaper.Karambit - can be effectively used as a . He is not piercing weapon. They can only perform cutting actions and only inside blade.
To make a karambit knife, we need a piece of steel plate (carbon tool steel 01) 3-5 mm thick. The size of the knife can be any - to your taste
A brief overview of the manufacturing process of a karambit knife
Make a test knife out of cardboard and turn it into a template. Use the template to cut out the shape of the knife and handle. Glue the template onto the steel plate and use a hacksaw to cut out the shape of the knife. If you have a grinder, it’s better to use it, of course. This will significantly speed up your work.
Try to cut as close to the contour line of the knife as possible. So that later there will be less work with a file, with the help of which we will bring the final shape of the karambit knife. At this stage of making a karambit knife, sandpaper or tape can be very useful to us. Power tools make metal work much easier.
Now we need to drill three holes in the shank of the knife. Two for attaching a handle, and a third large hole for a finger. The finger hole is 1 inch in diameter.
Use a paper template to mark where the two holes for the handle should be. After this, you can drill them on or using a drill. To drill a large hole, use the largest drill bit you have, and then the hole can be reamed using a round file to the desired size.
Now we need to make bevels on the knife blade. File one side down to the middle of the end (you can draw a dividing line along the end). Then we turn the knife over and work on the other side. Just don’t make it too sharp yet, otherwise during hardening, we will ruin the cutting edge.
Making the handle of a karambit knife
Use your handle template to draw its shape on a piece of wood: one inch thick, two inches wide and five inches long.Use whatever tools you have available to cut away the excess wood from the knife handle. We need two identical halves of the handle. Now we need to drill holes in them. To do this, use the shank of the knife, where we have already made them earlier.
Now let's connect both halves of the handle to the blade using wooden tongues and continue processing the handle on a grinding machine or manually using a file. Once you have given the final shape to the handle, it can be sanded using fine sandpaper.
Now all the wooden handle linings can be removed and you can begin.
Hardening and tempering of a karambit knife
First, with the help of hardening, we will achieve the hardness of steel. To do this, heat the knife to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Simply put - red hot (the blade must acquire bright red color). You can also use a magnet. As soon as the blade stops being attracted to the magnet, it means that we have reached the desired temperature and it needs to be cooled sharply. Cool the knife in used machine oil or vegetable oil. Thus, we will achieve great hardness of the blade.
Be careful when lowering hot metal into oil. It can burst into flames. Use long pliers or a metal rod with a hook at the end to hold the knife. And of course, protect your hands with canvas mittens and wear thick clothing or a blacksmith apron.
After hardening the steel, you need to temper it (first clean the body of the knife with sandpaper). Tempering of steel is carried out in order to give it greater ductility, otherwise the blade can quickly break because after hardening it becomes hard but brittle.
Steel tempering is carried out as follows. Heat the blade to approximately 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the knife over the coals and heat it, turning it evenly and regularly from one side to the other. Do not place the blade too close to the coals to avoid overheating it. If you accidentally overheat it, you will have to re-harden it again. When tempering, heat the steel to the color of wheat and let it cool naturally.
After the blade has completely cooled down, it must be thoroughly sanded using first the finest-grained sandpaper, then newspaper and polishing paste.
Now we will make the final assembly of the handle, connecting it with glue and copper rivets. We will do the final grinding of the handle and rivets.
Today we will tell you how to make a karambit knife with your own hands.
Hi all! Today we will make a karambit knife “tiger tooth”. For this we need a sheet of stainless steel. Cut out a drawing of karambit, 
We apply it to the steel, outline it with a marker and cut out the workpiece with a grinder. 
Draw a hole for the finger and drill it with the largest drill, 
Next we process it with a round file. 
Now we need to make a handle. We will make the handle from textolite 3 mm thick. We outline the knife blank and cut out the handles. We process them with a file and sandpaper. 
Now, to securely fasten the handle, we will make 3 rivets. To do this, we make 3 holes of 6 mm each in the blanks of the knife and handles. 
The main thing is that the holes match. Next, we saw off 3 pieces for rivets from copper wire with a diameter of 6 mm. We dilute epoxy glue, glue the handle and insert pieces of copper tube into the holes. 
We clamp it in a vice and heat it with a hairdryer so that it all sticks tightly. We rivet the tubes with a hammer. 
Using a file, we file off the excess parts of the handle and make descents for the fingers. We decorate the handle with teeth. 
The karambit knife is ready, all that remains is to paint it with black paint, the handle – bright light green and fill everything with varnish. 
For a detailed process of making a karambit knife, watch my video.
Knives in CS:GO are one of the most expensive and very rare items, so absolutely all players dream of having at least one copy in their inventory. Some users are so fanatical about knives that it gives them the motivation to design homemade karambits, hunting knives, butterfly knives, and so on.
Drawings of knives cs go
Knives from cs go drawings can be found on the Internet, there are a lot of forums, websites, public pages in in social networks, which are dedicated to this kind of homemade products. Users post photo and video processes of their preparations. The rest of the people evaluate and comment on their creativity. For some it may be a hobby, for others they just want to have an original souvenir, and on the occasion of KS’er’s birthday you can make original gift. The smartest ones even manage to sell knives for good money.
In this article we will share drawings with you - this will help those who have a desire to engage in this type of activity. For this you need: materials (plywood, polystyrene foam, plastic, cardboard paper, etc.), desire, patience and diligence.
Karambit
The drawing of a karambit knife from cs go looks like this:
It consists of several parts that you will have to work hard to make it look similar to the original; then all that remains is to carefully glue/connect all the fragments. Karambit can be painted in any color you like, or if you are a good artist, you can try and make a copy of one of the coloring pages in the game.
The knife itself is one of the most popular in cs go. It looks like a curved blade. You need to hold it in your hands with a reverse grip, with your finger inserted into the hole on the handle. Its blade is sickle-shaped and usually ranges from 3 to 10 centimeters.
Butterfly knife
The butterfly knife is one of the most unique and unusual weapons, which has the second name bolsong.
The “butterfly” can be brought into combat mode with lightning-fast swings of the hand. Interesting fact: This knife is banned in many countries. There are a bunch of types and types: with a curved blade, (like a karambit) straight, short.
Metal and wood are used as materials for the handle. The butterfly knife from cs go drawing is one of the most difficult to implement.
Bayonet knife
This knife is an “old man”, both in CS:GO and in real life. The first prototypes of the knife were already during the Second World War, since then the design has not changed much. It still remains an effective melee weapon. Used in the ranks of the modern army.
The bayonet-knife from cs go drawing, compared to others, is more detailed, has small parts on the handle - its manufacture will take a lot of time. In the game, it appeared at the beta test stage of the game, where it was a standard knife for counter-terrorists.
Any children's game, even not very childish, requires certain attributes. You can imagine the circumstances - the tropics in the backyard, a labyrinth in the garage, a “scary” dungeon in the basement, but the small, recognizable details of a fantasy world must be present. Weapons from popular games or films - for example, a karambit knife made of wood is just one of these attributes.
Karambit knife: features
This weapon was made popular by the game Call of Duty: Black Ops, as well as various films where good and bad heroes used karambit in street fights. Unusual shape weapons, spectacular use, although not entirely consistent with reality - all this has made the game version an indispensable attribute of many games.
Karambit is a special dagger designed for one of the Asian martial arts. It has an unusual curved blade that imitates a tiger fang. The knife is held with the blade facing itself and is also sharpened on the inside. On the handle in most versions there is a hole for the middle or index finger so that the weapon does not slip out of a wet palm. The photo shows a military weapon.
The peculiar shape makes the dagger a very interesting weapon for close combat. First of all, it is distinguished small sizes- from 3 cm, which is easy to hide in the palm of your hand, to 10 cm. Although in games there are, of course, much more large specimens– up to 30 cm long. It is intended to deliver ripping blows, that is, to remove the enemy from the battle, immobilize, and not kill. It is impossible to inflict a deep piercing blow on them, but a ripping blow along the muscle completely disables this muscle.
The blows are applied to the arms and legs, where they are most effective. You can strengthen the blow if you rotate the karambit around its axis before the impact and cause damage using the force of inertia.
In games, paper and wooden models of the CS GO dagger are used. Well, you can find out how to make a karambit knife from wood on the forums.
Manufacturing methods
How to make a CS GO dagger from paper, plywood, wood or plastic is clear from the pattern used for this, of which you can find many. In practice, they all come down to a few of the most popular methods, where the largest parts are made using ready-made templates and fastened together.
Game weapons, as a rule, are distinguished by their elaborate appearance and complex configuration. It is much easier to fulfill this condition using paper. But to do the same from plywood or wood, you will need experience. As easy as this material can be processed, it requires a lot of experience to produce delicate parts.
There are 2 methods of working according to do-it-yourself drawings.
- In the first case, the main part is cut out of a material 12 mm thick and 2 nozzles 4 mm thick are fixed. Assembly of the product is simpler, but a lot of work will be required to grind the blade down to give it a conical shape.
- In the second case, the CS GO dagger is assembled from 5 plates cut from a material 4 mm thick. This option exactly follows the contours of the weapon, but up close it looks far from the picture. However, the imitation of a knife serves its function in close combat. In the photo there is a knife made of wood.
Materials and tools
In fact, a karambit template made of wood is quite rare. Much more often plywood is used as a material. Firstly, it is highly durable, secondly, it has an affordable price, and thirdly, you can always find material of any required thickness.
So when they talk about a wooden knife, they most often mean plywood.
Tools you will need:
- a hand jigsaw or milling cutter; as a last resort, you can use a grinder with a saw blade or a circular saw. A jigsaw is absolutely not suitable for such delicate operations;
- ballerina or feather drill for making holes on the handle;
- sandpaper or a disc sander is an indispensable part of DIY production.
In addition, you will need PVA glue, impregnation - it is best to choose bakelite glue, and a coloring composition - use alkyd enamel or oil paint, as it is more stable.
How to make karambit from wood
The manufacturing scheme is simple: you need to find a suitable drawing - there are quite a few of them due to the wide variety of models. In addition, you need to sensibly evaluate your ability to work with wood or plywood. Then complete the blanks and fasten them.
The work is simple, but differs in a number of nuances.
- A drawing of karambit made of wood is transferred to cardboard or paper - this is how templates are obtained. Their number depends on the complexity of the model. In the very simple case you will need 3 parts: the main part of the dagger - the blade and handle, and two figured attachments that provide a recognizable karambit relief.
- The templates are outlined with a pencil and cut out with a jigsaw or cutter. The latter takes quite a long time. The photo shows cutting with a jigsaw.
- The hole in the handle is cut with a feather drill. If you don’t have such a device, you can do the work with a jigsaw. To do this, pierce a through hole with an awl, then insert a file into the hole, attach it to a jigsaw and cut out the hole.
- The parts cut out according to the drawing are smeared with PVA glue and glued together. The structure is placed in a vice or clamped with a clamp until the glue dries completely - usually a day.
- Then the product is cleaned with sandpaper or a sander. The knife should be completely smooth. If there is a desire to make it more durable, then the workpiece is impregnated with bakelite glue.
- If the product is used in role-playing game, it is painted as in the picture.
The video discusses in detail how to make karambit from wood with your own hands.
Paper knife? Yes, it’s real, and moreover, if you approach the matter responsibly, it looks exactly like the real thing. The karambit knife is quite popular among connoisseurs of edged weapons, and gamers are also familiar with it firsthand. This type of knife is similar to a blade, the shape is slightly curved, there is a handle on which a ring for the index finger is located. Let's figure out how to make karambit from paper.

Popular karambit from the game CS:GO
Karambit was not always so popular. The game brought him fame and public recognition Counter Strike: Global Offensive. In the game, the cost of such a knife is equal to 15 thousand rubles, but those CS fans who did not have the opportunity to acquire virtual edged weapons came out of the situation and came up with a diagram on plain paper for the desired knife.
This scheme is suitable for any material: even if you are a fan of wooden objects, even if you are going to use regular A4 paper, plywood or cardboard.
Paper karambit: gluing method
Very important point is gluing all the elements of the knife. The shape and then how the subsequent coating will lie on the base depends on this method. Therefore, let's figure out how to properly perform the gluing step.
- Once you have cut out several templates, apply PVA glue to each layer and attach to each other;
- Saturate with super glue (also called cyanoacrylate), that is, drop a few drops of glue on the ends and wide parts, and then spread the entire consistency over the craft with a small piece of paper. The glue should cover everything without leaving any gaps.
Advice! Glue the blade first, and then the handle. And only after that attach both components to each other.
- When the entire product is thoroughly dry after the glue, coat it with automotive primer. And only after that you can paint with aerosol paints.
Advice! For the handle it is better to choose matte paint.
Cardboard karambit
To start working on karambit, prepare:
- thick paper or cardboard (plywood or wood can be used);
- a simple pencil;
- sharp knife or jigsaw;
- glue;
- sandpaper.
Let's get to work.
Step 1. Draw or print a diagram of the knife, the dimensions should not go beyond A4 paper.
Step 2. If you chose plywood, wood or cardboard, then simply spread glue on the paper and lean it against the material that will be the base of the knife.
Advice! Considering that at the end of working on the knife, the paper will need to be removed, use PVA glue for these purposes.
Step 3. Cut out the knife elements using the template. Use a jigsaw to work with plywood and wood to better processing material.
Advice! When cutting out parts, step back from the extreme lines by 2-4 mm to avoid possible mistakes.
Step 4. All cut out elements are glued to each other like a sandwich. Use PVA glue (can be replaced with wood glue).
Step 5. Sand all nicks and sharp spots with sandpaper (if the craft is made of plywood or wood).
Step 6. Remove the top stencil using gentle movements. Try to avoid getting wet while doing this, otherwise the whole craft will soften and lose its shape.
Step 7. Color the resulting paper knife the way you want. And you can use it.
The colors of this knife in the game Counter Strike are completely different. You can choose one of them by looking at the picture:
