A detailed description of how to turn an ordinary bone into a functional knife. Bone knives can be used as a weapon, but are not good for cutting or chopping, which can cause the knife to break. In creating a custom knife, such as one made of bone, planning must come first. Ideally you would like to create a template of how the knife will look, including its relative dimensions. The drawing should convey the knife’s size and shape. This will give the creator a mental image of the knife they are trying to create.
