Exercise Karambit modeling

 This was the most frustrating model I had to. Even though sir did lay a great foundation for us to follow, I watched the recording many times.

Process

To begin, I create a basic blade shape using a combination of extrusion and edge manipulation techniques. However, the unique curves and cutouts of a Karambit knife can be quite challenging to replicate manually. This is where boolean modeling comes to the rescue.

I add additional geometry to the model and position it accordingly, making sure it aligns with the reference image. Then, I use a boolean modifier to subtract this additional geometry from the main blade, leaving behind the desired cutouts and details.

Moving on to the handle, I encounter the ring-shaped feature at the end. Instead of painstakingly sculpting the ring from scratch, I opt for a boolean approach again. I add a cylinder that represents the ring and position it in the appropriate location on the handle. By applying a boolean modifier and setting it to the "Difference" mode, I can effortlessly cut out the ring from the handle, ensuring an easier integration.
