The Gurkha Kukri 02

This is the knife of choice used by the Nepalese Gurkha's called the Kukri. It is praised the world over as the best knife ever made, and therefore I wanted to make one. As it is with my previous weapons, two blades are displayed above. There are three meshes that makeup the components of the blade; The blade and tang, the grip, and the brass loop-hole. Like all the weaponry I create, each piece has a high-poly counterpart which was used in the generation of the Normal-Map, which is shown here as the top sword. By far, this is one of the fastest pieces I've ever done when it came to modeling and texturing - 4 hours flat. However, I lost a weeks worth of time on this sucker because of the amount of glass that was used in this piece. Though it took a while to get right, I truly believe this is one of the best pieces that I've done.
