This was inspired by the Ranger's Apprentice stories by John Flanagan and the fan discussion here (https://flanagan.fandom.com/wiki/Flanagan_Wiki). I wanted to keep it simple and safe for those younger apprentices.
The throwing knife has a heavy grip made with a series of leather discs one above the other with a matching brass pommel and hilt. The blade is narrow at the hilt and tapers sharply outwards becoming thicker and wider for ¾ of the length. Then, there is a steep reverse taper to a sharp point. I have seen where the blade should be 20 cm but that seemed to make the knife quite large and unwieldly so I made it more ninja sized. It seems to fit better with the Double Scabbard.
This model comes in 2 parts - the handle with pommel and the blade with hilt. Printing vertically allows for a color change. The pommel and hilt are printed down on the table. There is a notch at the top of the handle that can be glued into the hilt. I printed at 0.2 mm detail with no supports. I was able to print both pieces without a brim. Depending on your printer you may need to add a 10-20 mm brim.
The scabbard is in a separate model.
