Blade Material: 200 layers of 1080/15N20 Handle Material: Blue mammoth tooth
I liked this background best, but a less active background with this knife is pictured on my Facebook. It actually does show the lines of the knife better; [link]
I'll have the measurements when I get it back in the mail.
I've been working on this one on Sundays, when I've had a chance. It is the only knife I have finished for the Arkansas Knife Show in Feb. My sword, dagger, and Valkyrie have a long way to go, in terms of being ready for the show. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have them finished, because they are...just amazing.
When I am working on my orders, this right here is what gets me through the day. Knowing that I'll be able to work on something like this.
Here's to taking over the world.
P.S.- you get awesome points for knowing what the name is in reference to.
This is a very stunning and appealing work. I love your bold design, and I think your use of empty space is wonderfully creative.
It's hard to get a sense of your technique without seeing the piece myself, but from what I can tell you're solid. The mammoth tooth is laid in well.
The only criticism I have is that it's a bit visually overwhelming. There's a lot going on in your piece. I still like your design overall, but one could get a headache from looking at it too long.
I say bravo, and I'm really excited to see more of your work.
If I may inquire: How do you achieve those cut-outs (sawed? milled? drilled?)? I'm just wondering as I want to try a damszanian blade myself with a loophole but am not sure how to do that best.
And I love mammoth tooth! It's such a beautiful material. ...if it just wouldn't be so expensive...
This is gorgeous! I love how the holes continue that shape from the metal. And thanks, now I've got yet another anime added to the list of things to watch.
