Integral bowie with autumn leaves cast into the handle window

TheoRockNazz · Jan 29, 2017

This has been a prototype I've been developing for a while and am happy to finally show off!

Waterjet cut then forged 5160 blade with integral guard. Handle window contains dried autumn leaves suspended in alumilite. Next I'll be working on different versions of this with various blade styles and handle materials ranging from crushed egg shells to solid cocobolo to antler.

Leme know what yall think!

Now *that* is a knife with concept integral to the design. This is my new favorite one of yours! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I mentioned you over in the Swords sub-forum in a discussion about Turk's head knot guards. Said it would be a good usage of your 3D printing to do a metal Turk's head guard.

Thanks!

That is a really neat idea - I've done 3D Celtic knots before, I could see it
