This is an A4 page so if you print this out on a full A4 page, it should be the correct size
This video shows the full making of process of my first knife. It's not perfect, but the next one should be better. The knife was made using pretty basic tools easily aquired for little cost
Most of the processes used I learned about on YouTube, and most of the materials used were bought from eBay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments and I'll get back to you
