Curved edge blade

[Ddawg747]

I am somewhat new to freeCAD but i am trying to design a blade similar to a Bowie but i am having trouble with the curvature of the beveled edge. Any suggestions on how to do it?

Hi, welc0ome to the forum, My idea is draw in the part design workbench a lot of sections over the knife and with the loft function in the part workbench make the basic shape of the knife and refine the shape afterwards. Make separate designs for the knife and the handle. Info about the loft function is here http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... =Part_Loft. Personally I think this challenge is too difficult for a beginner and I would advice you to start with some tutorials

Here an example of a previous attempt to make a knife in freecad viewtopic.php?t=13510

I couldn't find it either... searched for "knife" and then again for "blade". Post back if you can't find it.

Sorry, maybe that was in the French forum then. But Willem posted a link to a different topic as relevant as the one I had in mind.

No, it was here in the english forum and I remember reading it. Now I'm thinking it might have been a topic created by murdic, who was later banned from the forum.
