Viking dragon knifeby ~BaldurJewelry

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

On that knife there are a travellers trying to survive the dragon who is trying to wreck the ship and the waves, that tries to drown it.

The steel used is BÖHLER K510, the blade is hardened, so the edge will hold it's sharpness, but please mind that as there are parts cut out, the knife is not made for serious working, you can easily use it for cutting, but not definetly for chopping. This knife is not a practical tool, it's more a piece of art.

Whole knife is 26.5 cm long (10.4 inches) , the blade is 14.5 cm long (5.7 inches).
The bolster and the back of the knife is brass. The stone used at the back of the knife is sea sediment jasper

The stones used for the eyes of the snake are zircons.

I don't remember the name of the handle wood, i got it from a good friend in Sweden.

For cutting out the scenery i used jeweler's saw. It's the main tool jewelers used. I drillied the whole, put the saw blade trough and cut out what was not needed. For shaping the metal i used dremel and different bits. Final patern was made using acid bath. I covered the whole knife with acid resistant wax, then i carved out what i wanted the acid to etch. That done, the knife blade was put into a acid bath. I used 10% HNO3.
