Here is an INCREDIBLE Art Piece by knife maker Jose De Braga. This magnificent piece is just unbelievable! It is better if I let him explain it.
Alien Hunter
Like the Predator , " Alien hunter " were inspired from their respective eponymous source featured on the big screen …
I had great pleasure and fun creating and carving all of them …
More than 600 hrs of the work , carving, texturing , engraving , totalizing about 90% of the project was done using hand held tools ..
The 22" ATS 34 blade got 3 Timascus inlay and the sword feature an overall length of 32 inch …
The 24 Kt Gold plated Tsuba , habaki , Fushi, were carved, textures and polished in solid Bronze …
Wax carving of Alien Head came back from casting with a weight of 95 Gr. of 9.25 Silver …The alien silver skull got damascus engraving on forehead to match the wings .
Wings and front handle appliqués also in 9.25 silver. All Silver elements got a black oxidized treatment .
Handle material is Ebony … On the handle , a small star Diopside cabochon stone was set on the belly black pearl inlay .
On top handle 1 oval inlay of black pearl , one garnet cabochon and a triangular shaped inlay made of Timascus
The overall finish of scabbard is similar to the Predator just to keep it in the family ..
Scabbard is made of Maple wood , lined with red velvet , stained antique brown and black . Appliqués and or inlays of Ebony , Copper , Bronze and silver . Some spots with glow in the dark pigment plus some details where treated with titanium pigment charged enamel … A small star Diopside cabochon stone is set on the circular black stained carved symbol near the mouth of scabbard ...
That's about it …!
WOW!!!
