Hey guys, so I've just picked up a couple of Riddick knives by UC...
Been after them for a while as my brother-in-law Max was in Chronicles...
He also did the new Riddick, so I'll also be working on the knife that Vin used to kill Max from that film too...
For Chronicles, I want to replicate Riddick's boot knife...
The screen used knife was a modified Kit Rae by UC. This is mine...
Obviously, there is some modding to do here, grinding off a bunch of the handle, etc. And of course I need to remake the handle and add the grip ring on the end. This is where I need your input. How would you guys tackle this? I've worked a little bit with metal, but not to this degree. The grinding part is easy enough, but how do I add a new handle? My initial thoughts are to grind down the handle thin enough to insert into an aluminium tube, then use car filler to mold it together. Or is there a better way?
Suggestions and input welcome.
