Making a mini fixed-blade knife

A while ago I wanted to try making a new style of knife, with a new style of CNC process and the knife in this video is the result! A knife made just for fun, this let me stretch my legs a little by trying out a completely different method of CNC knifemaking!

This video covers CAD design of the knife itself, as well as setting up and programming the toolpaths using CAM in Fusion 360. In fact it shows enough of the process that it will give you a very nice introduction if you've ever wanted to learn more about how the CNC process works!

I also show hand-finishing using mold polishing stones which are the best kept secret in knifemaking! I will be making a separate video about these stones sometime soon!

Hope you enjoy the video! If you have any questions let me know in the comments!

The polishing stones I show in the video are 'CS-M' grade stones. I use the 1/4x1/2" size and I buy mine from MoldShopTools.com, here's a link to the right ones: https://www.moldshoptools.com/catalog...
