  • Question
    Can it bend and become useless like some of my paper staffs?
    Community Answer
    You can try to harden the paper with glue before you paint it. This way the paper wont bend and crumple in one hit in a paper knife fight.

  • Question
    Why do I do the handle as a cross when making a paper knife?

    It's a guard so your hand doesn't slide up and get cut. The knife is not really sharp, so here it's just for decoration.
