This is a fun little project that is easy to make. And you just need a few basic supplies. I also give you the template if you want to make this exact shape knife.

You can probably do this whole project in an hour, depending on how long the paint takes to dry.

If you came to this page from youtube thanks! Give me a day to finish this tutorial but the template is done:

The template for this project is here

There is also a video tutorial you can watch at the bottom of this page.

Note: I also made this knife out of steel. That was a fun project. You can see the tutorial here.

The interesting thing about a sub-hilt knife is that extra little hilt on it. It helps you hold onto the knife so it can't be pulled out of your hand. Your index finger goes between those two hilts.

Materials Needed for this project:

• 1 sheet of foam board (cardboard is not a good option for this project)
• The Template (right here)
• xacto or hobby knife
• Silver and Brown paint
• Optional hole punch and silver foil paper to make the pins in the handle
• a piece of sandpaper, the grit is very flexible, anywhere from 100 grit to 400 grit is ok.

Print up the template and cut out the three pieces that make up the knife.

Trace the pieces onto your foam board.

Cut the pieces out.

Glue the three pieces together. One handle piece goes under the big piece and one handle piece goes right on top.

Now use sandpaper to shape the handle nice and rounded. Leave a little bit of the paper on the handle. This will create a wood grain effect.

To get the crisp edges around the hilt and sub hilt you can use the edge of the sandpaper like this.

Here is a closeup so you can see how the handle is developing.

Lets continue with the tutorial, do the blade and paint it

The Video Tutorial

Cold Steel OSS, Kraton Handle (Secure-Ex Sheath)

The OSS sub-hilt fighter offers all the advantages and performance of a custom knife at a fraction of the price. For the ultimate grip, the handle guard, and sub-hilt are injection molded in one in one integral piece of Kraton . This manufacturing method makes the OSS more affordable while delivering the durability, security, and control in the hand that the sub-hilt fighter is famous for.

This is a fun project that just uses cardboard or foam board with a rubber band. It really works quite nicely. Make an Assassin's Creed Hidden Blade
