Clara's Annabeth's Knife

thingiverse

A leaf-shaped dagger, as used by the character Annabeth Chase, described in the Percy Jackson books, according to my daughter, who is dressing as Annabeth for Halloween. Printed in a "golden" PLA, which looks more like bronze to me. Updated 2014-12-21: Added version 2, with a smoother curve between the handle and blade, after one print broke there. Hopefully this new version will be stronger. Reprinted in BronzeFill, which is a great match for this. Instructions I've included the Blender source file; modifying the cross-sections or profile is pretty straightforward. They are in the "Brochure" scene, not the default, "Export" scene. If you do modify them, you'll have to change both curve objects into meshes, then join them, then get the seam smooth - I used the Loft tool in the standard extensions. It printed great for me with the point facing up, with no raft or support. As sized, it's 8.7 inches or 22 cm long, and is probably about as short as you could consider to be a full-sized prop for a kid.
