Finding a Knife and Shaping the Blade
First I needed a knife, the obvious choice was a lego knife (for many reasons!) It was easy to get, tiny, close to the right shape, and extremely cool! This Next step is optional, I used a dremel to shape the blade and make it look a little more like the KA-BAR fighting knife! (I wanted it to be as close the the original as possible)I then used a small knife to clean up were the dremel ground the plastic knife blade.
Painting the Handle
To get the blue handle I used a small paint brush and some acrylic paint. To get close to the guard I used a toothpick.
Clear Coat and the End!
To help the paint stay on a little better I use some clear coat spray. And that's it! I am happy with how this turned out and think it looks awesome! Hope you enjoyed this instructables thanks for reading it!
