Step 2: Handles Part 1
Cut paint stick in half
Cut 4 sticks about 3.2 inches long

Draw out the blade shape
Cut it out carefully
(Remember to leave room to attach the handles)
Use your sander to sharpen the blade
Step 4: Handles Part 2
Sand the handles round
Sand the end just to make the blade spin a little bit more freely
Step 5: Handles Part 3
Drill a hole in each of the handle pieces with a 5/64 inch drill bit
Step 6: Blade Part 2
Mark where the holes have to be
Drill the holes with a 7/64 inch drill bit
Check if the handles don't hit each other
Step 7: Handles Part 4
Glue on the back spacer for the handles
Line up the handle holes with a nail and then glue the handle together

Step 9: Blade Part 3
Hammer in your middle pins and cut them to length
If they are loose just glue them in place
If there are cracks in any part of the knife glue them
Step 10: Finish the Butterfly Knife
Make the holes big enough for your bolt and then screw on the nut.
