    Photo of the original props, the one to the left is my actual project. I found this on a fan page, it's one of the few images I could use for reference to make my version.

  • Crysknife wooden prototype

    Crysknife wooden prototype

    This one was my first try. The inscription on this isn't correct yet and my later versions are more accurate in shape of the blade

    Before - After

    Just to show what I started out with for this knife. Yeah, hard to see, I know. To make it easier, the top is the start-point ;-)

  • Metal hilt detail

    Metal hilt detail

    Crysknife Dune 2021, detail shot of the rather unusual hilt. I like the concept of having a blade carved from bone/ivory and a hilt made partly from metal. Usually it's the other way around. But to clear things up, this piece contains neither bone, nor ivory, nor metal...

  • Crysknife in correct location

    Crysknife in correct location

    Usually I shoot my props at home, often on some red background (because it seems to work well). This time I decided to take it out. Since this is a prop from the new Dune movie, I took it to a proper location, some real dunes just down the beach. Materials used: Pinewood board, some polymer for the fake metal and some 25 layers of paint and varnish!

    This one is made from wood. I made a second generation so far, which is translucent like the original prop
