Hello, I was looking to customize a pair of Ulaks, The duel knives Riddick uses in the movie: The Chronicles of Riddick.
I came across Bobadept's tutorial on the creation of the custom handles, but wanted to try something different. Here is a link to his tutorial:

I found the blades, as well as the X-Acto knife, but what I wanted to do (Instead of attaching the X-Acto blade handles to the knives, like Bobadept) was to cast the handles, then create a mold out of rubber or some other material instead.
I have no experience in casting or custom prop work, nor do I have the materials or tools to do so. I wouldn't know where to look if a casting shop existed in my area, at least not for what I'm looking for.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Maybe even someone here would be able to tackle this project for me.
Any info or advice would be much appreciated!
