Deer Antler Knife - Kofun period

This is made as a personal project during a Art Jam that I hosted on my twitch channel. It's a Japanese Deer Antler Knife from the Kofun Period. During my trip to Japan this summer I found some really cool old objects in museums, I just couldn't resist taking photos and start model this once home again. I also wanted to challenge myself, so I spend a long time on handsculpting most of it with trim smooth border and trim dynamic. Only exception is the pattern which I drew in photoshop and made an alpha from.
