Summary

This is my version of a Bowie knife, for use as a costume accessory. I divided it into several parts for ease of printing and to allow me to use different colors and materials. I printed the blades in TPU, the tang in PTEG and the rest in PLA.

After printing I glued the blade halves together using contact cement, and combined the blade, tang, guard and grip using epoxy.

I have included the full knife as a single stl file to cut and print as you see fit.
