My daughter Lola, who also is one of my two students, finished this stainless steel knife. I showed her Sam’s brightcutting on the heart pendant and she really likes that style.
After practicing a bit on a practice plate, I thought it was time for her to cut a first knife.
Yes sure a way to go, but I want to show her work that could encourage other newbies to show their work.
And no matter what, for instance, the leaves that don’t touch the backbone, is something I like, it is a sort of suggestion the eye fills in.
Lola did cut this using a 120° parallel heel graver and a 2X magnification optivisor.
She made the backbone design directly on the metal using Sam's transfer wax.
