About the full tang utility
This is one of my base profiles in the outdoor utility family. Use the outline as it is if it suits your build, or open it in the editor and spend a little time getting the dimensions and handle how you want them.
This template
Full tang. A recurved spine over a convex belly, with a swelling handle for scales. The starting blade is 103.5 mm long and 25.4 mm high at the heel. The outline, tang and handle can be adjusted before printing.

Printing it
Print at 100% or Actual size, never Fit to page, and measure the 100 mm ruler on the sheet before you cut anything. The print guide has the details.
Changing it
If it is not quite the knife you have in mind, open it in the editor. You can type exact sizes or drag the outline, reshape the handle, add pin holes and a bevel line, then print it or export a PDF, SVG or DXF. No account needed.
