[CRAFT] Art in Metal

  *Tries not to comment on how much it looks like an automail forearm*

  Very awesome, Skarzsy-chan!  You can make armour five thousand times better than I can! 

[Cornflower MM]

It looks great, Skar! You'll get better at it.

[The Skarzs]

Thanks, guys!

Now, I had gotten some good time to do some smithing on Saturday, and this is what I made:

After draw filing and rough outline shaping, here is the start of a bowie knife! (I have no idea when this'll be finished. . .)

[Faiyloe]

Awesome. I was looking at the armor and realized it looked like OOM's armor. 

[The Skarzs]

Thanks!
D'you think so? *Looks at OOM's armor, then at that.* Hmm, I do have a tendency to stick to relatively similar ideas. . .

BTW, that knife there is over 14 inches long, with 8 being the blade. It's awesome.

[Jukka the Sling]

That's really cool!

[The Skarzs]

*Wipes forehead.* Whew! Didn't realize that moving items into their own albums would cause every photo to be a box announcing that I had deleted or moved the image.
Soo. . . now that they are back to normal, I've got another picture for you guys: the fully heat-treated blade.

Ah, if you could only see the true beautiful colors. The back is blue, and the edge is the same color you see there.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Nice. Although I am not a fan of modern knives, this looks nice.

[Mhera]

Bowie knives are so cool. Great work!

[The Skarzs]

Nice. Although I am not a fan of modern knives, this looks nice.

May I ask what you mean by "modern"?

Bowie knives and the like. Prefer pre-eighteenth century knives anyway.

[The Skarzs]

I see.

Thanks guys, for the compliments! I will hopefully have this finished before the weekend.

[Dippler]

Can't wait to see the finished knife, your work is amazing!

[The Skarzs]

Thank you, Dippler! And here is the finished knife.

Might not be able to see it well, but I have bronze pieces between the wood and the steel guard, which looks amazing in full color, I made an interesting shape on the top guard, and I cut in a nice design on the back of the blade which you can see part of.
I got this razor sharp, and it cut through paper like nothing I've seen.

[Rainshadow]

  ...Gimme.    (No, you probably don't want to give me a weapon.  I'll most likely cut off a finger in the first five minutes.  )

  Very cool, Skarzsy!  Me likey.  Me likey a lot.
