hello together,
in summer 2012 a good customer offered to me an ebony-grip with a fantastically carved sabertooth-skull at the rear.
whether I´d like to create a free designed knife for him???
of course I wanted-
and had no plan, what to do....but at least a lot of time for brainstorming: deadline was summer 2013.
finally I got the idea to combine the hunter with his aggressive teeth and the game, a herbivorous animal-
the whole thing packed into a halfintegralknife.
a roughly finished blade (thought for another project) matched the grip and its lines perfectly:
then came the ´3D-forming-stage´:
and finally the ´knifemaking-stage´.
for an old dental engineer it was a new experience to carve the skull out of the massive material.
but I wanted to do it ´the hard way´and not by wax-modelling and casting:
the fotos of the finished knife?
please scroll dowm to post #4

No wonder you're so skilled at the carving side of things.
