I start by making a template on cardboard, I make hash marks at the top for a size guide. Long lines are inch short marks are half inch.[IMG]

Next I do every thing with straight lines to start then draw my blade shape and handle shapes.[IMG]

Then I cut out the template and transfer it to the metal, I always draw my lines bigger than my template. [IMG]

On this knife I cut it out of a piece of 3x5 square tubing, usually I have flat stock and don't use the torch.

After I rough cut out the blade I retrace the template. And start grinding till the line is gone.
