Princess Mononoke's knife

You would think that with Halloween Superstores opening everywhere, there would be a ready source of caveman knives, Native American knives, etc. Yes I know about the internet! But I like to get the feel of it before I buy it, and you can't do that online.


After a long fruitless search, I decided to make the knife. Several failed attempts at molds and materials later, I made an “Insta-mold” in a plastic drink bottle. I formed the base object out of regular kindergarten modeling clay which worked just fine in the molding medium. Then I cast it with “Permastone” and just now turned it out. I think... maybe it's too soon to tell, but I think it's going to work!
