Bryce 7.1 Pro - small Wings 3D modelling project 1

Turned out to be a bit trickier than I imagined. I thought a pocket knife would be fairly simple, but it turned out to be a bit of a challenge. On the plus side, I learned more of Wings 3D in the process.

I can see where I can improve my design. The gimping on the back of the blade could do with being deeper and also some corresponding gimping on the handle would be nice. The back lock is a bit high. The finger choil could do with being larger and the flipper is not quite long enough to reach through the back. The hole at the back is actually a bit of a hazard I see now, since you could put a finger through that while inadvertently closing the blade - what would be bad.

The blade is supposed to be bead blasted black - perhaps a bit too shiny.

The handle is intended to be G10 but it looks more like FRN.

The metal inlay is more a fancy of my own invention - would probably make this a rather expensive proposition for a pocket knife.

Comments welcome on either the design or the render. I don't mind.
