Can anyone sculpt or cast this?

Or even 3d print it?

Id love to have a couple, proper scaled kukri.

And I reckon Im probably not alone

I made this one.


http://www.joecustoms.com/customs/customs_specific_item.php?kind=figure&alpha=E&id=14841

it is a bit large for my 3 3/4 ELI but it would be a good fit for modern joes I think. I had to roll out a large nail to get a wide enough piece of steel. the rest was trial and error.

I wouldn't be apposed to sending it off to someone trustworthy to be cast.

There's a brickarms one that's decently Joe scaled. I'll dig it out and post a pic.

POC Shadow Tracker and more recently 50th Spirit had one. I'm sure other figures came with the same weapon they did.

Dude, thats a fantastic looking knife and Id love to have it for at least one of my customs- but its not a kukri.

They did but its way too big to be properly scaled. Its the closest approximation but is way too big to reflective of a true scale kukri

That would be great. Its nice to know theres one out there. I was in touch with a guy on shapeways but hes a Warhammer customiser and think he couldnt be bothered

Thanks for the replies guys

The brickarms handle is a bit simplistic, but the blade is perfect.

I found a UK site and ordered a few.

Thanks again guys

Yeah, the handle is basic, but it'll be covered by the hands. Sounds like you went ahead and picked some up (and for as cheap as they are, I don't blame you), but I'll still try and get a pic up tomorrow.

I know this doesn't help out...but you kinda inspired this one :) I made these two blades at break today out of some rolled out nails. the kukri is actually heat treated and the color is what happened when the metal was heated then quenched in blue burr lube.the small skinner is also for gnawgahyde. I added the handles at home with electrical heatshrink.

Typical- get the Brickarms kukris (which are perfect) and the guy from shapeways contacts me the day after they arrive (after 3 months of no contact)

Sods law
