Great site, lots and lots of information to read through, well done. Greetings from Waterford,Ireland.
Lovely templates.
Has anyone got a patron for a small hatchet/Axe?
I have a 12 saw blade I'd like to try make a hatchet from but can't decide on a design I like
A hatchet is more of a forged (vs. stock removal) project. I have seen some great hatchets made from ball pein hammers
Check bladeforums.com they have a bunch of really good info on making a tomahawk from a ball peen hammer. Isn't too difficult and you can adapt it to your design
Dan, this is a great website, someone recommended your site on blade forums and I've spent an entire night reading over it. So much great information.
Thanks for your kind words.
Cheers,
Dan
Any chance you can put up the Bark River Bushcrafter II pattern? Thanks.
AWESOME- very nice knife templates, awesome for knife makers, keep up the great work, hope to see more knife templates in future, maybe folding knife templates aren't many out there,..??
Do you have a kephart design. Thanks for the patterns.
How about a kobun style tanto? Thanks
i was wondering if perhaps you would make a template for a recurve knife? i keep drawing it out and i can never get it balanced correctly. either the handle looks weird or the belly looks weird or the size relationships are all off and i can never find a perfect balance. awesome site though! ive spent the last 3 days reading all of the articles.
Can the Kn38 be posted in the pattern section?
Hi, the KN38 can be found on the Knife Patterns V page. Thanks for stopping by!

You did very good with limited resources. I wish that your nakiri serves you well in the kitchen!

I would like to thank you for the generosity you have to share your knowledge and the real-size drawings of each type of knife. For those of us who are starting, it is a great help.
Greetings from Argentina
Great templates thank you! Look forward to posting pictures of my knives!
Thank you for making these designs available. Very often when I am stuck without ideas, I browse thru the designs and most of the time I come away with a blade form to suit my needs. Normally just tinker a bit of the handle and sizing.
Hi Dan
Quick question if you dont mind (and Merry Christmas). I have used your Guthook hunter template (Thanks) to make a blade for a mate (out of 4.1mm Nitro-V) but I cannot get a decent cutting edge in the hook itself. I have used (and basically destroyed) a 5.5mm Stihl chainsaw file and it looks great but it just doesn't get sharp, only the very centre even looks close. Could you please share any tips regarding getting a good cutting edge in the hook itself? Should I be trying to get a flat or V shaped cutting edge rather than curved? Should I go bigger with a dremel instead?
Thanks again,
Regards, Ben (Australia)
Hi Ben,
The shape works best as a single bevel with a zero or micro edge. I would use a file for shaping and setting the initial angle. Then a small drum in the Dremel to get the wire edge. Once you can feel a little burr, run the small diameter buffing bob with some rouge or green buffing compound.
Similar to what I do for looped hoof knives, you can use a small piece of 1500 - 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper rolled around a rod to make like a super fine file and stroke it to bring the cutting edge back into shape.
Merry (belated) Christmas to you too!
Dan
Thank Dan
My mistake, in hindsight, was to file a double sided bevel in the hook before heat treat, there is nothing left to take out to get it back to a single sided hook blade. I managed to machine it to a flat edge in the hook and get it sharp but the next time a single sided gut hook is definitely the way to go.
Regards, Ben
Is there any chance that you have a throwing knife template? I've been looking but can't find a good one anywhere.
Thank you so much for your time to help us with your templates and builds. Let me thank you with some pictures of knives I made using your templates
