I need help - knife blade grind

[dylanhosted]

I am creating a fixed blade knife in inventor and I wanted to put a saber grind on it but I cannot figure out how to do it. I have tried using the chamfer tool but the grind does not go far enough up the blade. Does anyone know how i could make this work?

I didn't open your file but have you tried doing a "sweep"

I have but I'll admit that I am still learning sweep so I may not be using it right.

Well now is a perfect time to play/learn then 🙂 

Going back to chamfer there is also the ability to select "distance and angle" and "distance/distance" instead of just one fixed distance.

You might also have to use "split" or similar to define where the chamfer will start/stop.

I used the sweep tool and was able to get the grind, it worked out very well thanks for your help.
