Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Top plane >> Sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw this profile.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Exit the sketch and then again Top plane >> Sketch. Draw same profile.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Front plane >> Sketch.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Draw this profile. Exit the sketch.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Again Front plane >> Sketch and this profile. Exit the sketch.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Now we have four different sketches.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Click Lofted surface under surfaces tab.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Select the two sketches. Click OK and the first surface is generated.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Now generate a lofted surface b/w the edge of the surface and sketch. Use selection manager to form group.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Again create the 3rd surface with same step.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Final surface with the edges of surfaces.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Click Knit surface under surfaces tab.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Select all surfaces and check Try to form solid and click OK.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Now we can see that a surface is generated.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Right plane >> Sketch.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Draw a circle of 10mm dia.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Extrude it with outward draft and from the offset plane.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    Front plane >> Sketch.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Draw a circle on the edge.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Revolve it about the center line.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    Fillet the edges.
    

    

23. Step 23:

    We have the kunai created.
