Good beginning friend :D
What kind of steel did you use - any tempering done - if so how did you do it?
All the best for the next steps....
Eager to see the progress :D

Dear Briha sir,
I've started off with grade 304 steel as of now..used plasma cutting,followed by grinding and buffing ,thanks to a workshop nearby. Its a tempered steel but is lesser resistant to seawater than 316 steel.

Hi all, I've enclosed a template for making the Karambit, the side two pieces being the design for the handle. Hope its useful.
