Shape and editing
The straight spine and edge make small changes easy to judge. Front rake, front curve, heel height and edge controls remain editable, so the outline can be softened or made more geometric.
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
The 165 mm starting point provides a familiar compact vegetable knife proportion. Print directly at actual size, prepare tiled sheets for smaller paper, or export a clean cut line for CAD and cutting software.
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.
