Channeled Throwing Knife by BlueChromis

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a channeled, 8 or 10 inch, blunted throwing knife. I designed it in hopes of being able to practice throwing knives without using a sharp knife, and added the channels in the sides to try to compensate for the lack of mass that a plastic knife has. However, I did notice test throwing it that it still isn't as stable as a metal knife would be.
There are two variants, 8 and 10 inch, and also halves for each variant. Do NOT actually print the halves, I made them to check if the knife will be balanced with my current print settings. I sliced each half separately, and made sure each half used the same volume. This will vary depending on the number of shells, infill percentage, etc. The printer settings I used resulted in the knife being balanced at the lengthwise center.
