Origami Pocket Knife: The Tutorial with Photos and Text Description

A tip before you start: It's best to buy Origami paper! These special sheets are already cut into squares, are A4 in size, and come in many beautiful colors. Origami paper is thinner than regular paper and much easier to fold. This makes crafting easier, and the folding mechanism becomes smoother.

Step 3: Fold the bottom two corners backwards, flip the sheet, and fold the edges. Then, you must fold the bottom part of the craft. After that, fold the edges once again towards the center.

Step 4: Shape the pointed corner slightly rounder. This is optional - since there are different knife models. But I prefer this shape. Then fold the blade to the left, then to the right, and finally downwards.
