HR Giger inspired letter opener

[Mike Davis]

i was just screwing around with a peice of mild steel to see what crazy stuff i could carve . i also included a pic of a tattoo machine frame i carved

handle is whitetail antler

Have always line Giger's lines! Seem fitting for fantasy and carved knives!

What did you use for the carving?

 

[Mike Davis]

i use carbide cutter bits and dental burrs in my dremel tool. i have been making and carving tattoo machines for about 2 years now.i just figured it would be kinda cool to make a knife like this. i am going to make a real knife carved like this. whatcha think?

that little thing is awesome! hell i wish my tinkering put out things that look like that. i generally end up with paperclip men! great little peice

 

[Darren Ellis]

I think you had better do it in tool steel next time so it's a functional knife..it looks good!
