untitledSilent song, let me hear you.
Eyes of jade, heart of scarlet,
I bathe in your uncertain light.

Icy mirth, let me be you.
In my hate, I become it,
A rose as dark as night.

Bed of earth, I rest within you.
Ether raped, soul begrudge it,
Rest be damned, spirits alight!

Undead throng, I march astride you.
Time evade, eternity covet,
Mine grave will be in no one's sight.

Great Knife - Detailsby ~Wraith-Flametail

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

Image 2 of 2 of my version of The Great Knife, Pyramid Head's decidedly signature weapon in Silent Hill 2.

My remake is designed more like a chef's knife-- that is, the grip is far closer towards the spine of the blade, whereas the orginal Great Knife had a grip almost in line with the edge.

Here is a top-down view of the knife with little details I'd like to show off.

First, in the lower left, is a detail of the guard area, where I used two 1/8" steel plates to thicken the grip and reinforce the tang, god forbid I actually need to hit something with it.

The other two views in the top-right show a teensy bit of the blood I poured on this thing. This thing has opened my skin a lot in being made, too.

For anyone that wants to know, yes, I did do some forging on it to get it to shape.

Once again, 4'6" overall, 30 lbs., steel, sweat, blood.

Oh my god... If I had the resources, I would remake this just so that I can make badass poses with it! It would also be a good bit of exercise gear, since I imagine you would be exhausted after swinging this only like, 5 times. One things for sure, you don't have to be a silent hill fan to appreciate this!

wait, did you ACTUALLY do teh blood with blood from your arm via needle? O.O

~Wraith-Flametail Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Easily. The same way you would if you were to donate blood, except with a syringe rather than an IV tube. Insert a hypodermic needle directly into an easily accessible vein and give the plunger a pull.

Repeat as necessary.

grazie. (thank you)

~DrDaffodil Oct 13, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

uhhh.. where'd you get the blood then?

~Wraith-Flametail Oct 22, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

From my arm. With a needle.

~DrDaffodil Oct 24, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Oh. Thought you like.. hit a dog and... took the body. Nevermind.....

~Wraith-Flametail Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

No, about all the blood on the blade is mine.

I have an actual apron that has blood splattered all over it. Half of the messier smears and spatter patterns aren't even mine. I used the arterial spray from the flailing body of a chicken I'd personally slaughtered to make soup with.

The fresh blood was tasty.

So was the soup.
