When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
Now what is the identity of this blade? It is actually based on no media what so ever! So everybody was suggesting the blade came from a anime/manga/game was wrong XD. The people who were correct said it was a Kris. Yes this blade is actually a Flame Kris or a Flame Dagger. The reason it is a Kris becuase the blade is waved. The reason it has Flame in each of them is becuase the blade is shaped like a flame rising up. The reason its a dagger becuase most Kris's handle are curved to one side whereas this one is symetrical XD.
Okey onto the techinical mumbo jumbo. I actually drew out the plan for the Kris in wood (which was very difficult becuase of the grain) 3 years ago. I Then I sawed it out then I left it for another 2 months. Now I have decided to use it for my purpose XD. It took 2 hours to sharpen the blade was a serious pain. I then cut out handles out of balsa wood then rounded them. I then cut out the guard out of balsa wood made the hole and cut out some balsa wood to make the ridge. I spraypainted the handles gold and got ready for the blade... THE PAINT OMG O.O!! The silver spray paint i used for the edge of the blade always work as a charm. The chrome spraypaint I used for the inner part of the blade Arg... Its the weakest spraypaint ive ever used I needed to put 3 coats on white primer which still looked uneven. Then I applied gloss then it was smooth then I put a gloss over it. Then I made a scratch accedently so had to repaint + regloss every time. Did I mention the gloss works along side the paint to drive me crazy? The chrome spraypaint easily lets finger nail marks and finger prints >.> Next I glued the handles and guard together onto the blade. Then I drilled a large hole at the bottom of the hilt. Use woodfiller and tidy up the handle then repaint. I slot a blue marble in the hilt to act as a gem. Then I wrapped the handle with blue cloth tape in a spiral formation. Comments oh wow. awsome man.

Someone referred this type of weapon for one of my charas to use. But unfortunately, none of them are blade-compatible. D: Awesome job, though! -- "Everyone says that I'm a dreamer... But, I'm not the only one." - ©.y.n. -[:: The ©arpet Shark ::]-  What did you use for the jewel, a mar ball?
-- "Tears aren't a girl's weapon. It's her smile." - Gackt  i knew it was a Kris, from three seperate games i was backed by,
not often i get THAT accurate after not seeing one of these for so many years. i called it a Kris Naga because that was the first name of that blade that came to mind from my time playing the Diablo games by Blizzard. those were good ole days! -- Evangelion + Kodocha = [link] |/^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\ ||____ |A ~FullMetalPanicClub?| |||'""|'"\___, | _dis truck is en route! |/l||__|__|__|) |(@)(@)""""""""""""'(@)(@) -------- (@)   you did an awsome job! Keep up the good work!
 Sweet dagger buddy, What are the dimensions?(sorry, the engineer in me wants all the stats
 )Making the blade must have been pretty hard, I can really appreciate the level of difficulty in making a zigzag anything look good ^_^ Definitely hats off to you man, great work as always! -- My name is Adam Poetter Yoo-Dan-Ja and Sabum, but I will always be first and foremost a humble student.  i knew it was a type of blade
-- "Just use ure head and in the end ull find ure inspiration to choose ure steps that wont regress this kind of agravassion"  Very nice. Kris style blades are a pain to finish and sharpen, regardless of material. Good work! So, did you base this design off of the Indonesian/Filipino type kris, or more of a european idea? Because you mentioned about kris handles going to one side. That sounds like the indonesian kris... In any case, nice work! Very awesome! Definitely a

Critiques
The design of the handle is elegant and skillfully made and finished adding and element of beauty to what is in reality a vicious weapon, originally designed to inflict maximum damage to its victims. Later however the high cost of it and the sword of fire made it a status symbol and were often richly ornamented with gold and jewels never to be seen on the battlefield and rarely used to draw blood. This is history, and may all other weapons share it's fate. Take a bow Chioky, I haven't even dared attempt this
