here's a couple of knives in glass. the dragon knife measures 51cm or just over 1' 8". The blade is wavy like a kris blade, and the handle is an oriental dragon in flight. The horns of the dragon form the hand guard. The blade is diamond-incised and depicts a flying phoenix and a cloud. The root of the blade is stamped with the clan marker.
the elephant tanto is 40cm long (the blade 24cm). The blade is stamped with a clan marker and engraved with an acacia tree and two tigers. The hamon is ground into a wavy line on both sides of the blade to form the edge and just like on a steel sword, a micro edge. This short sword will be used as part of a sculpture.
both blades balance perfectly.
I made the dragon all clear and the elephant mostly clear with some colour highs to try and showcase the natural beauty of the glass and how it relates to the purity of a finely made sword blade. blah blah blah
