i lazer cut this three seprate times each time changeing the size of the pins and tabs to try and make it fit right next time i would use a method called finger joints as its a stronger jointing method

this is one of the first laver cuts this one in perticular went very bad as the pins where completly melted off.

these lazer cuts turned out slightly beter as it was able to hold to geather for a short time the 3D print however turned out amazing with eatch part working perfectly

with the desgine of the first knife i chose to follow the desgine of my stepdads fish knives that are thin and cerved with a sharp point 

with the desgine of the second knife i went with the shape more comenly asoseated with a cleaver these stile of knives are most comenly used to brake down meat in as easy as posible
