It took me a decade to figure out how I could bring this knife to life.
It should have that ancient, sinister appearance and some slightly bizarre or extreme part or detail we often see on ancient and ethnic weapons around the world.
And in spite of all this, it should at the same time be a reasonable, good using knife.That was difficult to design out of the wrist....it had to evolve out.
I chosed plain materials like Ceylon ironwood and copper, just the kind of like back then...but with a better steel and heat treatment for the blade which is forged and ground of roller bearings.
The tang is riveted on the butt, forming the center of the flower
Blade is 90 mm long and overall length is 190 mm.
Cheers
