Artist's Comments

This knife reminds me of the large bladed surgical knives used by Renaissance surgeons, but with a gourlish twist.

The blade is high carbon steel, honed to a razor's edge, and the handle is 316 (marine grade) stainless steel, with a bronze inlay along the inner grip.

There are so many angles on this knife that it was difficult getting a shot where part of it wasn't in shadow, so that I could show off all that shiny metal ...

All my blades have a purpose. It's a bit hard to explain how Mad Surgeon is used, but it's a great slashing knife, especially for under the arms, behind the knees, up along the jawline and along the groin. The sort of places where blood flows freely really ...

oooo, another beautiful piece! you have such a graceful style... if i may be so bold, how do you do your metal working? you don't have to go into extreme detail, i'm just curious about the general process. once again, this is pretty. very pretty. is it heavy? it looks like it's got some weight to it.

I don't feel the need to explain my art to you, Warren.

Oh hey you finally put Mad Surgeon from your site onto DA :D Its a sweet blade, with all the curvyness (word or not? o_O ) I know you said it could be used properly but it does seem to be going with that cerimonial vibe more than practical.

Anyway all in all great piece of work and im looking forward to raising enough money to buy one of your weapons :D

But even in this early morn
Faintly foreshadowed was the dawn
Of that fierce struggle, deadly shock
Which yet should end in Ragnarok;
When Good and Evil, Death and Life;
Beginning now, end then their strife.

slick work, exactly the kind of stuff a meat-carver mad scientist would use. =P

Is it a good thing that children believe in the Tooth Fairy or the Hogfather or, shall we say, Father Christmas? Yes. We need to train our imagination on the little lies so that we can believe the big lies like "Justice," "Truth." - Terry Pratchett
