Dunedain Puuko WIP
Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2022 11:33 pm
Over on Discord, the subject of Puukos came up. So I posted this WIP I teased in my Bree Knife set.
Since the cat's out of the bag I figured I'd do a writeup here.
So this was the Puuko that Farodel gave me back in the 2016 Yule Gift Exchange It was my EDC for about 3 years, and then it disappeared. I found it the next spring, my kid had taken it fishing and left it in a tackle box over winter. When I found it the next spring the it was a rusted mess, and the handle had delaminated and was ruined. But it was a favorite knife.
So I rebuilt it and I went full dunedain with it. I have been trying to figure out how to do that for a while but with the penannular brooch I designed was so well recieved I decided to try some more of the Professor's Numenorean Doodles.
Here is the weformed sheath, I still need to do the metalwork & decoration. And I need to do a viking style ring for the pommel cap.
This side has a cult of Narsil motif on an antler shield. The Narsil here is inspired by some John Howe sketches and some Mycenaen swords I saw in Greece. The scrollwork is a Tolkien Doodle plant motif.
This side has a Meneltarma motif on an antler shield. I know there was no building on Meneltarma, but it's been 300 years. The scrollwork is a Tolkien Doodle wave motif.
