A flying knife
This was an unusual one for me incorporating wings into a knife
Made for a well known maker /collector...........in the end I used magnets to attatch the wings. more info at www.knifesculpture.com http://knifemakersassociation.org/ma.../barry-salter/ http://www.britishblades.com/forums/...light-of-fancy regards barry Last edited by beachcaster; 07-16-2012 at 07:45 AM. |

Most of the time when I think of art knives visions of gold guilded, engraved and highly ornamented work come to mind. You have added new meaning to it with your work. I agree with you on the Wharncliffe design. Its one of favorites as well and it just works. I am especially fond of the Black Snake. Growing up here in North Carolina my grandfather called him "Mr. No Shoulders". Is that one spoken for?
Your work is very nice. Robb |

Thanks gentlemen.........sorry the Black Snake is spoken for.
Most of my knives never get used but I hope they raise a few smiles My knives are modern art knives.....or in more cases sculptures. I agree a lot of "art knives" are heavily decorated, engraved or illustrated but just as not all art is traditional..why not have a more modern art version. I prefer to make knives that shock or amuse. Why do something that has been done before ? I think its time for more contemporary ideas....but still with a link to the past and at all times well executed. regards barry www.knifesculpture.com Last edited by beachcaster; 07-29-2012 at 04:37 PM. |
