Each creation is an original masterpiece, evocative of times long past. Long fascinations with many artistic and historic disciplines have led to artistic interpretations of the tools and weapons of bygone worlds, resulting in a fascinating fusion of cultures. Nordic, Celtic, Aztec, Mayan and Northwest Native American influences are often noticeable, but whimsy occasionally lets fly as well. Internationally known sculptor Tom Sterling creates handles from semi-precious hardwoods, horn, antler and fossil ivories. While we don&#8217;t expect our knives to be used, we intend for them to be completely useable. Our construction methods typically use exposed or hidden tenons, pegs or other mechanical holding mechanisms as well as top grade fixatives to ensure a lasting, museum quality work of art.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/sterlingsculptures.com\/wp\/?page_id=721\" href=\"http:\/\/sterlingsculptures.com\/wp\/?page_id=721\">Click to See our Steel Bladed Knives<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/sterlingsculptures.com\/wp\/?page_id=660\" href=\"http:\/\/sterlingsculptures.com\/wp\/?page_id=660\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\nClick to See our Stone Bladed Knives<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unique collaborations of two ancient arts, combining knives and sculpture.
