    Very unique. I like your take on the scales. Do you have any more detailed pics of the blade and the scales at different angles?

    I used an Epilog engraver and Coral draw 4 to create the scale itself.
    Thanks for the compliments, it took a while to learn tricks with the machine to get good results.
