  Step 7.  
  This is part 3 of the Photoshop tutorial to draw a knife. We're now going to create the pattern on the handle. On a new layer create a pixel wide light grey line and then rotate it 45 degrees. You can do this by going to edit > transform and then entering 45 in the degrees box at the top of Photoshop. Once you've rotated the line, Duplicate it a number of times, so that they cover the entire handle. Don't make them evenly spaced out.  
     
 
a)   b)
 
  Step 8.  
  Merge all the lines together and then duplicate the layer. Flip the duplicate horizontally (edit > transform > flip horizontal. You should end up with a pattern similar to the one in image a) Merge the 2 layers together and then make selection out of the 1st large section of the handle, as in image b). Right click on in the selection and choose layer via cut.  
   
 
a)   b)
 
  Step 9.  
  Repeat these actions for all the large parts of the handle, and then set their blending modes to multiply with 70% opacity.  
   
 
 
Step 10.
 
And that's all there is to it! You should now have drawn a nice shiney knife.
