Shape and editing
The spine stays relatively straight before meeting the angled K tip. The edge is flatter through the rear and rises towards the point. Both curves and the front facet can be adjusted directly.
The base template is fully adjustable. Type exact measurements, drag the profile controls, set tang dimensions, add holes and marks, or convert the result into an editable node outline.
Choose a starting size
Start with 165 mm for a compact format or 180 mm for more edge length. The template includes an editable Japanese style tang and can be converted into a free node drawing for complete outline control.
Every output should be checked before fabrication. Printer settings can change scale, so print at 100 percent and measure the calibration ruler on the finished sheet.
Files for the next step
Use PDF for a prepared print file, drawing SVG for the complete annotated profile, cut line SVG for a clean outline, or DXF for compatible CAD and cutting software. You can also save the editable design as JSON.
