Howdy,
Heres a Pic of a Old Work in progress
blade when i was just starting out.
The Custom Private collection Art stuff is fine ,but its alot more work than just making
Great using stuff.
This one was a Pic i had of a Work in progress at one time.
Carbon blade (big) moose horn handle
and the Castings , all done in 14k
all 6.5 oz of it...... Even the Talons had the Stimpling on the skin surrounding the Talons/with feathers too.
I guess the Art knife collector stuff for Private estates was ok,
but i think the True art of Knifemaking Lives in performance. I guess thats why i make Users.
I have thought about getting back into it and incorperating performance into Art,
But its a fine meshing of the two to pull it off.
Do you other Guys find this Aspect of Custom art the same.
I know more than a few high end makers who although they make King Quality stuff, they dont harden the blade.
anyway heres what i use to do,lots of work,
and time with a wax pen,and then ya have to cast it.
