Scissor Blade Saga: Fully Carved

That’s right, both the blade and the handle are now fully carved. The process took me about 3.5 hours just to carve the handle pieces. I’ll post a video explaining how to make an ergonomic handle as soon as I can, but for now, take a look at the majesty that is the fully carved scissor blade.

I also remembered what I forgot a couple nights ago. This scissor blade, although it looks like it could be perfect, is not. The diamond piece on the blade is suppose to be sticking out past the handle, the blade should have a double bevel instead of just the one, and the back of the handle (the foreground of the second picture) had to be modified quite a bit for the pieces to fit together. Not to mention that I just realized the pointed piece on the curved portion needs to look like it’s a separate piece. After all, it’s a separate piece in the anime when the blade goes into Decapitation Mode. The first three I can’t fix at this point, but does it matter? I don’t think so. I’ve never spent so long planning, drawing, cutting, or carving a single build before, and it’s a damn fine blade. I’m proud of it.
