Archangel knife

[Ste82]

This is the end of a WIP i posted some days ago,
the theme is Angels & Demons, the main bolster is a multi color inlay of the paint "St. Michael the Archangel" by Guido Reni.
Sorry to post photo of a not complete knife!
Hope you like it!

and a closer one...

I like it.

 

[Marrinan]

Me too. Very nice work. Fred

Looks nice, thanks

Beautiful knife. Thank you for posting it.

I have always been puzzled by Guido Reni's decision to give Michael the Archangel a belly button. Angels are pure spirit, and, not being born of woman, never had an umbilical cord, therefore no navel. Maybe he gave him one to contemplate while guarding the pearly gates.

Many thanks FANCYGUN, Fred and LVVP!
Thnks Mike! i had the same curiosity! maybe the belly button is only on the armour?..I think we will continue to ask ourselves if the real one is under it! :thinking:

 

[Ste82]

Finally i've received by the maker the photo of the whole knife...hope you like it!

 

[Marrinan]

Beautiful knife. My congratulations to both of you. Will remain a treasure to whomever owns it in the end. Fred

Just absolutely wonderful work! Can I ask how long, in hours, you would estimate that you have in this knife?
