Ethan posted this thread about the Horace Kephart knife: http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/the-knife-that-horace-kephart-created.1496191/

Have always admired that design, and thought I would do a "Beckerized" rendering. I took this photo from that thread:

I then cut it out using the GIMP program, then resized it using the same. Shadow added:



I then used that direct copy of the cut out, to render what I perceive at least, to be what this knife would look like if it were a Becker blade. The "Beckhart", if you will:



Animation showing how I used the original Kephart shape:



A fun rendering to do. Thanks for looking.

EDIT:

Clear coat version:

Thanks man. Not sure if it would fit my hand or not, but I wanted to stay true to the original.
