First, cut a stick off a tree of your choice of length. If this is your first time making a wooden knife, then a stick that is strait is the best. The best kind of wood is oak or cedar, but I have also used pine which is a soft wood so it does not work as good as the hard wood like oak or cedar. Oak and cedar are harder to work with, but the finished product is much better.
Second, start carving a flat edge off of one of the sides of the stick as in the picture. Do the same on the other side.
It should look like this.
Then make a point and you are done! You can also sand it to make it smooth. Once you get good you can make different styles. Enjoy!
