Make a Foam Board Karambit

 

This is a fun, fast and easy foam board project. We make a Karambit which is a fighting knife with a finger ring on it. You can spin the knife on the finger ring. Pretty cool.

I have the template for this project right here

I also have a video tutorial on this project at the bottom of the page.

Cut out the pieces

Now cut out all five of the pieces.

 

 

Glue the handles on

Now glue the handle pieces onto the blade piece. Two pieces on this side then turn it over and glue two pieces onto the othe side.

 

Smooth the edges

It looks good. Trim it with a knife to smooth it all out and use some sand paper or emory paper to smooth out the edges.
