To start, I drew a template to define the outline of the piece we want to replicate. I placed it on a piece of styrofoam to replicate the karambit.
Step 2: Cutting the Styrofoam
The next thing was to cut the styrofoam and I placed two columns of the same material and put it inside a container full of sand, covering it almost completely.
Step 3: Melt the Aluminum
Then I turned on my smelting furnace, and melted some pieces of aluminum.ย And then I poured the liquid aluminum over the mold that is in the sand.
Step 4: Cutting the Shape
Now that I have the form I was looking for, I put it in the morza (vice) and cut a thin sheet of about 5mm. Then I polished it a little .
Step 5: Sharp the Knife and Hole
With a sharpie I made some lines where I mimicked the karambit edge a bit and then made a hole in the back.ย (I used a wick of spade because I had no other, but it’s not what I recommend)
Step 6: The Grip
For the grip of the knife handle I chose to use the sole of some shoes, I also drew the silhouette with a sharpie and then with a little bit of epoxy I stuck it in place.
