My question is to find out how do you guys come up with a new design and make a template for it. If you have a knife already and want to copy the outline of it what steps do you go through to copy it and what material do you make the template out of?
Are your templates metal, plexiglass, or paper?
Do you hand draw your design or use a computer?
Once you finish your outline or drawing do you then transfer it to a more permanent form like metal or make the knife to a finished product then make a template outline out of it?
I want to know how you guys go from an idea to metal. I have seen some movies on knife making but I don't remember any talking about the design and template part.
I hope I asked it right :les:
Thanks
