TheoRockNazz Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 https://youtu.be/EtfPfiKPoLg Finished up this fun user for a fella that wanted something fancy but practical. It's funny that I am back to Celtic knots again, since that was my very first 3D printed cast pattern too. Never actually been a fan of Celtic knots, even though they translate to 3D well... but they do sell haha. W2 steel hardened with clay to form a hamon, hot blued blade, 3D printed cast bronze fittings, mosaic and copper pins, and dyed stabilized burl scales. As always, comments and critique appreciated., Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJ Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 That's gorgeous. I love how the handles look like jade. Complements the brasswork nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thank you it's actually bronze, but due to the printing process it ends up impregnated with stainless powder, so it has a brass-like shine... kinda funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzkill Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Nice work Theo. The green/brass combination always seems to work out well for some reason. Personally I'd rather see scale the entire length of the spine or not at all, but that's just me. I do like it and when I see those designs I wish I had the setup to make brass pieces like that.

TheoRockNazz Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thank you guys. Yeah, the scale on this is...weird... I was aiming for just a hint, then the client ended up requesting me to leave it on, but I had already ground a good amount off... and I ended up in this strange middleground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
