Thread: 2 more from the snail forge

Tis week I finished 2 interesting projects. The first is an Alien1, but with a smile. The blade is about 9/8 half hollow.The notches and jimps make it lock perfectly in my fingers. It's mirror finished, following some tips I got from Max which I wanted to try out. The scales are kirinite glow in the dark. This is awesome stuff. In low light conditions it glows yellow green, which is just perfect for an Alien. I made the notches on scales match those on the spine. The wedge is kirinite green MOP. I really wish I could make a picture of the glowing scales but I can't seem to take pictures in the dark.





The second blade is a fixed handle razor of which the spine / handle follow a sinewave-ish line that I thought felt natural. It is 8/8 and very curved, both in the handle and in the blade. It too is mirror finished. I added jimp patterns to break the monotony of the otherwise smooth handle. The stand is meranti.
