How to make an origami knife/sword
Designed by Jo Nakashima (02/2022)
This is a very simple model made for the origami goose to make the meme “peace was never an option”. You can easily make a sword using a longer rectangle.

The first step doesn’t have a reference point: it will be the size you want for the handle of the knife/sword. Start with a rectangle with ratio 1:2 for a knife or longer for a sword (I suggest 1:8 for a sword, but the exact ratio doesn’t really matter).
If you wanna make a knife/sword with precise measurements, then:
paper length= blade length+2x handle length
paper width = 4x model width
