31 Navaja Quentin Trollip

Quentin Trollip designed a pocket knife origami model inspired by Jeremy Shafer's "Swiss Army Knife" design. The design uses a single square of paper and involves 25 steps to complete the folding. It is an intermediate level fold that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Thin foil or glassine paper works well but can pose challenges in some steps. The completed model resembles a pocket knife but is not intended to be sharp or functional.

blades can not be folded in!
