design work

It's time to turn your ideas into a reality and get them in to production.

LETS WORK TOGETHER

"Jake has helped me conceptualize and work on knife designs to get them to a level I'm not able to on my own. I'm very happy with his work and I am fortunate to have met him."

Joe Flowers, Bushcraft Global

WHAT DO I OFFER?

It depends where you start. 

  • Do you have an idea you want to see drawn up in a realistic way? 
  • Do you already have some sketches and want it as a concept ready to present?
  • Maybe you have a concept you want to feel and hold as a prototype?
  • Do you want to see your idea in CAD as a presentation ready for OEM or licensing?
  • Do you make knives and need files drawn up for quoting and outsourcing?

1. SKETCHES

Sketches, pages and pages of sketches on my sketching template. Refining lines and creating the overall style and appearance.

Then the details. Making the knife look just as good closed as open and considering features that set it apart.

2. 3D Print

Into the computer for a basic 3D print model to test comfort and size. Quick, iterative prints that can be easily altered to test comfort, features and various hand sizes. Multiple prints to get the main features and sizes locked in.

3. Detailed CAD

Lock geometry, stop pins, contours, blade grinds, bearings, back spacers, hardware, pocket clips.

Detailed, refined 3D prints to test comfort, function and manipulation of every element.

4. Production Ready Files

Final CAD. Production ready files for manufacturers and detailed renderings or Concept Presentations.
