Use care.   This looks like a knife but there is no sharp edge.   The tip can poke so not for small kids.   Use in the home.

I made this goofy KA-BAR knife toy, but I like practical prints.   So I figured I'd put a toothpaste squeezer or toothpaste squeegee slit in the blade.   Now I'll have a funny teeth brushing session every morning and night.   Full Tang construction.   It fits with a bit of friction but I recommend CV glue.   I printed everything with 6 top and bottom layers and 3 parameters.   For the blade I recommend 40% infill.   I tried less but 40% is pretty ridged for toothpaste tubes.    The handle can be less like 10-15% but I recommend aligning the seems.   I posted my sliced files for the MK3s+.    I did a few variants and posted the final(silver blade pictured is final).   Post your makes.   Use wild colors.   Happy Printing.    

Update.  Handle file was updated 2/13/23.   I printed the blade and handle using PLA+ from Fremover and Inland respectively.   I designed it for a easy fit.    I printed the model again for another project and had fitting issues with PLA Pro from Inland.   If you have fitting issues just use a steel knife blade and scrap perpendicular against the four corners of the pla blade's tang.   Shave off a bit and try fitting again.    This did the trick for me.
