These are 3d renderings of knives drawn in the computer with mapped
pencil drawings on them to represent engraving. They were made with 3d studio version 2 back in 1993. I had the idea a 3d program could be used to see what an engraving was going to look like on a knife before engraving it. It did work but as much time as it takes, a person could have the knife half engraved for real. The fixed bladed knife is one I wanted to make and engrave, but I never got started. The other one is of a Steve Hoel folder. It really did exist and the rendering was done before the engraving. Steve |

That's cool but I have played with some 3d stuff and I think your right, I could engrave it faster. Looks way cool though. Ray |

Ray, What programs were you useing for the 3d?
Here are more renderings that were made for a customer to pick what amount of gold he wanted in the knife. He selected the all gold one. The last image is of the finished knife. ![]() Here was the finished project... ![]() |

With unlimited time you could even animate your folding knives. My son makes big bucks at Dreamworks because he is very fast on Computer Generated projects, but I don't ask for his help because 2-D is good enough for what I do.

Wow Steve I feel completely computor illiterate after seeing that. I think someone should teach a computor class aimed at the engraver. I think many of us could use it.

Awsome! I used that program one upon a time. Never to that degree.
