Hi.
This is my first WIP on this forum.
Now english is not my main language so please be tolreant with my if i misspell somethings.
Ferrum flos is an artdagger i made for Helsinki knifeshow in januari.
When i draw an dagger i only draw half of it. Thats becuse im a lossy drawer an i simply cant draw a symetry dagger.
Make a copy an cut it out an d glue it to the orginal and make a new copy and tadaaaa you have a komplitly drawing.

The steel is a nice piece from Damasteel.

I tape the drawing to some plexiglas and cut it out on my bandsaw. Then i have a stabil tamplet fore the steel and also á tamplet for the shelth later on.
transfer the bladedrawing to the steel.
