How To Use DraftSight for Knife Design - Free - CAD

[J. Keeton]

Fusion is free for a year, as many times as you want, until you sell more than $100k/yr.
NanoCAD is a Russian company that puts out a free to use edition. I think it's closer to AutoCAD than Draftsight is. I like it a lot.

Thanks for the suggestion of NanoCAD! I've been using it some. I like that it will utilize my current draft sight files and that the commands are very similar to AutoCAD!

I like what you done we can make that knife if you give us drawing/print

Well , it is too late to say no I already cut one blank....But I forget to post it... Do you like HSS steel ?This is small knife for light use so I think that M2 is good choice ?This one is 2.4mm thick .I think 3mm is too much for this small knife ? Now , what do you like for handle ? I have Micarta , walnut , clear G10 and marble carbon
My friend from USA will come here in the beginning of next month so knife you will get from USA when he come back there

And this is how M2 on 63-64 HRC look from inside ...I like it

That front pin...........6mm is too much in that point of handle , I need to think about that ....

PS . I move that sharpening choil little back ,would be half on tang half on bevel.....IF I grind bevels right , of course .....

I'm flattered you're making my design!! Seriously no need to waste it on me. Keep it for a birthday present or Christmas gift for one of your family members or friends. I'd be happy to know this template is making someone else's day! It looks great by the way. Good luck with the build.
