Knife Pencil Case Project

So, a few years ago, I used to love looking at Hot Topic's online shop, despite the fact that I lived all the way in Australia. Now, I don't particularly like their stuff, but an image of one of their wallets has burnt into my mind and has never left. I wanted to use it as a pencil case for school. I begged my parents to buy it for me, sadly, they told me it was overpriced and worthless. Eventually, they sold out and I felt a sense of emptiness in me.
Now, you would wonder what kind of wallet would get me so worked up. It was a wonderful wallet that was shaped like a knife, not just any knife, a bloody knife. I know, my nonexistent reader, why in the world would I want something like that? I just did, well do. I've searched for an image of it for ages but have never found one, perhaps my mind had created that item? Probably not, but here's a picture of what it relatively looked like:
It wasn't as cool as that picture, but it was still bloody cool. (See what I did there?)
Anyways, the whole point to this, is that I really want to make my own since I was unable to obtain it many years ago. I've made an awesome pillow before, it has a lace up thing going on and has a black and red checkered pattern:
I never use that pillow, but I got an A for my Home Economics class, so it once served a purpose. It now sits on the floor somewhere in my room, in tears. Well, that's what I think it's doing, because I'd be pretty sad if someone created me but didn't use me for my purpose and just left me all alone.
I did, however make something useful with its left overs:
Despite how it looks, it's actually a pencil case. I've been using it for 2 years for school now. It's kind of beat up and starting to come apart at the seams, it's still holding on though. I just don't feel like using it anymore, I'm sorry, my lace up, red and black checkered pencil case, you have served me well, but my heart belongs to someone (well, something) else... That wonderful knife pencil case!
Well, it's technically a wallet, but I can't find something exactly like that anywhere. So, do you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to bloody make my own! 

So, the whole point to this post is that I'm going to make my own knife-shaped bloody pencil case.
