Swiss Army Knife made out of popsicle sticks!
This is a Swiss Army Knife prop that YOU can make using only a couple of popsicle sticks (tounge depressor type).
NOTE: I do not know how to make the blades stop when fully extended. You can turn them until they hit the other side of the stopper. I did not have a Swiss Army Knife available while making this Instructable.
Please post a solution if you can.
---------------------------------------------
You will need:
- 6 popsicle sticks (wide type)
- Superglue
- Drill
- Jigsaw (optional)
- 1/2cm drill bit
- Sandpaper 150 grit and 280 grit
- Pen or marker
This is not a Step-by-step Instructable, so I'm hoping you understand the process from the image notes.

good to give to a little kid so he can learn to be safe with knives... or cut himself...
I apologize for the crudeness and poor handwriting...
- Just like the picture, there is a notch on the same side as side C. Sides A and C are roughly the same length, and B actually came out pretty even too.
- I found that it was easier to leave side A rather long, then drill the hole out, and then shorten it to match C.
- The dotted line is just where I tapered the blade, and I colored in the notch for the thumb to pull out the blade. The other notch...I'm not really sure why that's there, maybe aesthetics? I was going off of my little Swiss Army blade.
Again, this is just a rough work up of what I drew last night. I just wanted to make sure that it was possible. Good luck on version 2!P.S. how the blades come out of the knife?
well done and I really hope you win a prize. with you all the way.
P.S: Why don't you paint it so that it has an even more realistic look
This one is about double the size.
Going to make one right now :P
