Another hairy knife :)

Teasing Trevor Two.... Be Afraid !


I did say I was working on a bigger version of Teasing Trevor and here it is .

Much bigger..much heavier and hairier...and now with adjustable teasability...all at the turn of a knob !

Its 10 inches high and the huge blade is over 2.5 inches deep.

Still utilising a Liquorice Allsort for maximum frustration.


This knife had various new technical challenges for me.......give me steel over fur any day !

Hope you like

I... I'm very confused at this moment in time. Perhaps I will understand while dreaming tonight...

That's different. Though I'm not sure if I'm supposed to cut with it or cast it. Neat.

Thanks guys......I do feel that the "art" side of knives tends to look backwards with lots of traditional filigree and predictable decoration.........and as such just repeats the past and shows little imagination.

I try and do things that are thought provoking and blend ideas from sources outside of knifemaking .......Im a comic illustrator and cartoonist........so I'm not averse to using humour in my work at times

Thumbs up

Definitely consider me a fan of your works.
Very unique and creative. You are extremely talented with great attention to detail.
Those works are well outside of the box. Good mild shock value with humor!
I've tied flies for many many years and a tiny part in my brain correlates your sculptures to Steelhead flies.
Keep up the great work man. Ponderous.

Thanks for your comments...made my day

Ive tied flies for years and had some of my new patterns in books and magazines
Ive also written and illustrated a comic strip Mr Prawnbush in the Fly dresser magazine for over 10 years...So I guess some of my work is influenced.

www.prawnbush.com

probably my most well know fly is the "activator bead fly"

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=s...%20fly&f=false

This fly works amazingly well but has upset a few traditionalists here in the UK as much as my knives do in the knife world

regards

barry
