The Maltese.
Dec. 7th, 2012 11:14 pmHere we go. I will post it in English even here, with occasional Russian subs and probably mostly Russian comments.
This is the idea.

This will be a folding knife. Damascus steel, mammoth ivory and something not many people tried before - lampwork molded glass. Right now it is unlikely will be a legal to carry one, but one thing for sure - it will be stunning.
Design may be changed without any notice, as they say.
Projected price - $5600. Time to complete - 6-8 months with my current occupancy. Price and time may change of course.
For the past month and change I was studying the particular part of European weaponry - Hospitaliers, Spain, 16-17 century. THIS WILL BE FUCKING TOUGH TO PULL OUT OF THE HAT. Daggers of that period are kind of ugly, to say it softly.
I'll do my best to marry grim rusty history with the fly of my fantasy without making people to gag. Wish me luck - my new job leaves me little to no free time.
Самое начало - мой новый проект "Мальтиец" - складной кинжал из дамасской стали. Все покажу, ничего не утаю. Следите за тэгом.
