3D modeling the textured handles for the V4. I model these the same way I used to make them back when I would hand-grind them. I move various-sized “grinding wheels” into position and take cuts. The cool part about doing it on a computer is that I can undo and tweak each cut as needed until I get the exact look I’m going for.
The process takes about eight hours, but after that I can manufacture them quickly whenever I need to, indefinitely. If I hadn’t spent the better part of a decade making handmade blades before this, the results wouldn’t be nearly as good. Blending classic techniques with modern technology is a pretty neat process, and teaching other makers how to do it has been super rewarding.

Bad ass 💪🏼⚔️

8 hours for a handle? 🙄
👏🔥
Very cool, what modeling program are you using?
Patterns feels very 'voronoi'
Handle design is definitely the biggest pita of the design process
👏👏👏
Is that a shape on a plane an then extruded? I use fusion and have not seen anything that looks like what you are doing in that video. Interesting🔥
What a smart way to design 👏
