The idea was to bring to life the essence of Ferrari’s Supercar, the La Ferrari and Its’ distinct features into a handmade knife design. As the gift is presented to it's recipient, I might be freed up to share a little more...
It began with initial drawings that included the curves and racing stripes as well as colors, distinct Cavallino Rampante (horse) and carbon fiber highlights the Ferrari is recognized for.
1) Initial drawings...
2) Next came the design of the handle scales and grinding the profile of the blade....
3) carbon fiber scales
4)...embedding tire caps from Ferrari wheels into the handle itself!...
5) Final touches and sheath...
Next came the edge grinding and sharpening to make sure the Ferrari Knife not only looked good but was shaving sharp....
