"The Riven Dagger is a trademark of Cyan Worlds. Used with permission"
I have a friend that has an original Museum Replica Dagger, He sent me a scan of it with the actual measurements.

As some of you may know, Museum Replica's daggers are probably made from Molds. Yes if you square the top T part & the blade tip, it is not square, its offset by 3-4mm.

The 40 daggers I had made are drawn with a program, then sent to be LASER cut, so they are perfectly symmetrical.
Image

I then beveled the blade enough so it does not cut, I then applyed a first coat of metal paint that makes a hammered effect.
Image

3 other coats of acrylic paint where used to do a rusted effect like in this pic here: Image
Image
Image
Image

then the last coat was a Super-tough polyurethane satin varnish.

Final results:

Image
Image
Image

I will be giving a percentage of the sales to Cyan Worlds ,the rest is to pay off the
computer drawn model, metal, laser cutting, metal and acrylic paint, 2 grinding discs and 6 buffing pads and finaly labour.

Let me know what you think,
Thank you

Wow! I may have to buy one of these if Cyan approves. Maybe they'll even approve a certificate of authenticity or something. That would be doubly cool!

Man, I don't know what I'd do with it, but I want one. I suppose I'd hang it on my wall. They look great.

I'd love to take a mallet and wedge one into a corner somewhere, but I'd worry about the rust pattern paint chipping... and to a lesser extent the damage I'd be doing to my house. Probably best that I don't do that.

Yet another most impressive work of art, MYSTRIVEN ... :P

And you got the idea now and you've got the talents to make
many Myst/Riven Nerds/Geeks/Obsessed/Lovers etc. very happy ... :)

Thanks again for the wonderful 'walkthrough' and guidance to
your masterpieces, MYSTRIVEN ... how lovely that is how those
many tiny little daggers are lying there waiting to be more worked
upon ... I keep my fingers crossed for Cyan's approval ... :D
