The design of this carving knife was heavily influenced by Industrial Designer Raymond Loewy's streamlined designs from the 1930's and the form and movement of sharks in their natural environment.
I wanted to create the impression of streamlined movement in the design of the knife, this I acheived by including flowing lines and subtle contours in the design. I used blue foam and board to test the form and functionality of the knife, as well as understand the aesthetic contrast between the hilt and blade.
