    This document provides design guidelines for manufacturing a combat knife, including specifications for materials, manufacturing processes, tolerances, and minimum assembly clearances. Key points include using carbon steel for the blade and powder coating for corrosion resistance, flat grinding the blade to a 22 degree cutting edge within 3 degrees tolerance, and ensuring minimum clearances between parts like the blade, hilt, pommel, and guard ranging from 0 to 0.011 inches.

    Aesthetics:
    None.

    Safety:
    Deburr all corners. DO NOT sharpen knife until ready for shipment.

    Corrosion Resistance:
    Blade: black powder coat
    Pommel: black powder coat

    Manufacturing:
    Blade:
    Cut from carbon steel, drill hole
    Pommel:
    Machine from steel block
    Guard:
    Punch out from brass sheet
    Hilt:
    Injection molding

    CNC Plasma (blade):


    Tolerances: +/- .005in on all features, unless otherwise specified.
    All angles are +/- 5 degrees.
    No more than 4:1 hole ratios

    Grinding (blade):
    Blade is flat ground, all angles for blade geometry are + or 3 deg.
    Blade has 22 deg. final cutting edge.
    Minimum Assembly Clearances:

    Parts
    Blade vs. Hilt
    Hilt vs. Pommel
    Pommel vs. Blade
    Blade vs. Guard
    Hilt vs. Pommel vs. Screw
    Calculations:
    Blade vs. Hilt:
    T = H F Where H = 1.127in and F = 1.127in
    T = 1.127 - 1.127 = 0
    Hilt vs. Pommel:
    T = H F Where H = .497in and F = .503in
    T = .497-.503 = -.006in
    Pommel vs. Blade
    T = H F Where H = .500in and F = .458in
    T = .500-.458 = .042
    Blade vs. Guard:
    T = H F where H = 1.127 and F = 1.122
    T = 1.127 1.122 = .005
    Hilt vs. Pommel vs. screw

    Minimum Clearances
    .000in
    -.006in
    .005in
    .005in
    .011in

    Hole is .136+/- .003, MMC is .139in, LMC is .133in


    Screw is .125
    Min Clearance = MMC hole MMC screw = .136 - .125 = .011in
