Have you ever seen the 1993 Robot Wars movie? Now that is a scorpion I'd like to see in real life... LOL Hey Crosseyes, don’t be so hasty about the scorpion fighting.

Don't teach scorpions to swordfight! next thing you know they'll master guns, then explosives, then neuclear weapons! this message brought to you by the people against neuclear scorpion holocosts. :D anyway, this is a fairly good design of dagger, of course from the look it was never actually meant to be used. That's what I can't stand; artists who think they have to sacrifice functionality for display value. just by making the hilt more grip-friendly, and possibly giving that stinger a 180, they could've made a beuty that's also a beast. As much as I'd like to give this thing a thumbs up, I have to go with Phyre, DON'T SACRIFICE FUNCTION FOR FORM. Thumbs down :( NO!

Little tanks...I had a real big one for a while, his name was Ravage ..or 'Monster Bug'... He would do all kinds of weird things. He dug a huge tunnel system in his tank...always hiding. Climbing up the branches I had in there, all spider like. He would do this weird thing where he would kinda flatten out and take his front and second pair of legs and reach over on top and be rubbing his head/top of body. Was wild watching him eat as they don't have teeth, just another set of smaller claws that reach out from under their head and chew/rip up the food. I'd tap his claws with a pencil and soon he'd grab the pencil...and I'd grab another...and sword fight with him :) Good times.... Ah ah ah….I didn’t say odd…I said interesting.

I love the patterning on those beads...It's almost swirly. Like the blade didn't have enough curves as it is, so they stuck more there. Curves within curves within curves. Beautiful. Wow.

It is always amazing to see how creative sword and blade makers become with imagination and life experiences. I am impressed with this blade really looking like a scorpian!

I suppose it would be much better suited as a hair adornment than a grip... The scopion tail hair idea is cool though... you should try Sinzs idea... LOL I can just see it... Someone makes an irritating comment, and you instantly whip your head to the side, and the little stinger comes hurtling through the air and across the unsuspecting fools cheek, leaving a gash... Then you'll be like "SILENCE! YOU UNWORTHY INFIDEL!!"... as they sit in stunned silence... ROFL... :D @Sinza You had pet scorpions eh? Why am I not surprised... Though I'm interested in knowing what you considered odd about their body structure. Where I grew up we had lots of these, so I consider these almost normal. Maybe a bit on the chubby side compared to some of their more northern counterparts, but... Yeah, I agree I do really love the blade on this, It's one of the coolest I've seen of this type. The hilt wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so totally ergonomically unfriendly. I'd probably go for a taller straight grip, maybe add finger recesses instead of those segments, and pop that stinger pommel on the end of that... Now THAT would be cool... @LoS

Interesting body structure. The knife...I love the blade, don't care much for the handle. ....But I really like the blade....I'd have to tear it apart and make a different handle for it, make it a user knife. ladyofspiders .....need to get some big beads with the last bead being a stinger. Braid those into your hair. Would be way cool! I’ve owned a few Black Emperor Scorpions, neat pets for what they are. Interesting body structure.
