Does any one of you have or know where I can find a tutorial for making crook knife.
I found one a long time ago but I lost it and I cant find anything now.

ok I found that, but that tutorial is too general....there are no dimensions and specifications and I dont have a clue from what size of blade should I start, how much should I blend etc.

I disagree,
From the photos on the page, you can see that the blades are about as long as the width of your palm - whether that be straight or curved is up to you. Try making one and see how it performs, how easy it is to control etc, then make your second one as an improvement. There are crooked knives with many different curves, lengths, angles etc - so you can't say that what you make is not a crooked knife, its just one version amongst many others.
I'm onto my fourth now from the origins of the same hand-drawn page as is noted in the link.

This page: http://www.caribooblades.com/makingahook.html demonstrates how someone can make a crooked knife at home with the right equipment...
