John Gage Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) Hi everyone, Here is some in process pics of a colaboration that Rick Barrett and i are working on. He sent me the finished blade, i carved the waxes and right now im working on the final assembly. The fiitings are bronze with steel talons and the grip is bubinga which will be carved with orc runes. I haven`t done any stats as of yet although the balance point is just above the gaurd. Ill post more pics and info as i progress. John Edited December 14, 2005 by John Gage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Erwin Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Is the blade shape itself patterned off any of the game blades? I had played World of Warcraft a little on my brother's account but took a hiatus since my girlfriend wasn't able to play too, and we were talking about both getting our own accounts. Anyway I was playing one of the elves and early on got a knife whose shape I really liked. Gonna have to get me a picture of it and maybe make me one =] Beau Erwin www.ErwinKnives.com Custom knives Bcarta Composites Stabilized Woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gage Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi, Here are 2 finished orc cleavers. I just got them done while Rick Barrett was visiting for a few days and unfortunately he took them with him. I will miss them . We had alot of fun in the shop, plenty of belly laughs all around. Best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
