Sooo...This is a build that I've been wanting to do since the first time I saw it. I know that you've probably seen several other builds of this knife going around, but that okay. This was not meant to be the next ground breaking new prop out there. I just wanted to build it.

This was a combined effort between myself and another awesome member of the 405th, and Stony Props, Justin Branfuhr, aka @JUSTINIAN 117. He lasered the parts and so graciously glued them together for me, then I took it from there.

Without further ado, I present to you our version of the Hunter Melee knife from Destiny, complete and ready for molding....

Justin started out by lasering the parts, and using his super accurate gluing skills, glued the layers together to form the following...

It was then shipped to me. I started by taping off the details areas, to keep them clean, then it was time for a little filler action...

It started to shape up pretty quickly. I used small needle files to shape the blade, and other areas around the knife...

I'll be ordering the clay for making the mold soon. This will be my first box mold, but I'm getting great guidance from Justin, so I see no issues with it turning out great. Thanks for looking, and as always, your comments are very much appreciated! :D

Thanks M! Well, my first ever box mold was a success! The Hunter knife from Destiny has officially been molded.

I also managed to cast the first knife last night. It came out really well for the first one. Here it is next to the master.

There were only two small air bubbles that showed up. I think this is just a case of me learning how the mold works. I'm confident that the next one will be better. Look for these to become available soon. I'll also be including the handle wrap with them as well. Now on to the next thing! :D

The mold turned out great Rusty! Oh man, if only my budget could warrant one of these bad boys. :)
Can't wait to see one wrapped and painted!

Thanks Matt! I'll have them when you're ready. I'm in the process of finishing one now, and I'll have pics when it done. :D
 
Wow!

The detail in the knife is amazing! Truly mind blowing work Rusty! :thumbsup

Amazing work once again!

Looks very nice, what material did you laser cut it out of?

What file did you guys use to do the laser cutting with? Did you make it?

Thanks. Justin made the file in Corel, and he cut it out of acrylic.

Wow!
