Unquestionably, it is strange looking. I think the elephant shield I recently did suffered a bit from weird looking, too. They kind of need engraving, lol.Looks great. I couldn’t figure out what it is supposed to be when you first posted it “raw”, lol.
The handle covers become the Mat, that flat rectangle of material around the border that goes between the picture and the frame. Perfectly.They both look great as is. Out of context without the knife - but then when you show them within the knife handle they come alive. The handle becomes the needed "engraving". You are on to something unique here and - I think - very salable.
CoolHappy New Year to you Sarah!
