Wooden Paper Knife (cnc)

Description

Many Years Ago I Made A Paper Knife From Wenge. It Was Cut From A Scrap Piece And Sanded To Shape. Using A Small Sized Cnc I Had The Idea Of Recreating Such A Knife. I Used One Of Our Kitchen Knife As Template And Traced The Outline From Two Directions. Than I Used My Desktop Cnc-Machine By [Stepcraft](Https://Www.Zenziwerken.De/My-Cnc) And A Long 3 Mm Flute Especially Designed To Cut Wood And Some 20 Mm Oak. I Got This As Scrap From My Local Wood Dealer, Where I Always Ask If I Can Take A Look In The Litter Bin. After Cutting The First Contour I Turned The Blank 90° And Fixed It On The Machine Bed. When I Had The Second Cut Finished I Used A Handheld Router With A Roundover Bit To Shape The Handle. Only Little Sanding Was Needed To 'Sharpen' The Blade And Smooth The Handle Some More. A Little Oil Gave The Knifes A Good Finish And Made The Grain Stand Out Beautifully. After First Success I Took Some Checker Tree And Walnut To Make Some More Knifes. I Haven'T Tried To Print The Stl! It'S Just And Extrusion From The Two Contours Using Fusion360. Visit Https://Www.Zenziwerken.De/En/ For More Interesting Designs.
