Any computer nerds out there ?? Don't know if this even possible

 Okay, I have a bowie blank that I have never finished for lack of time. Due to my impending retirement, I will soon have the time to design an over the top custom.  My question is, is there a program or programs that would allow me to take a photo of my blade blank. and overlay different photos on top of it to mock up a finished knife ?? I'm talking multiple materials and possibly diferent configurations. The photos aren't the problem or the materials. It's just that I have a few different ideas in my head, and don't wan't to start cutting expensive materials like Ironwood without a clear idea what it willl end up like - Any suggestions helpful !!

Phot shop, acad,or adobe photo programs should allow you to do this John. It may take a little time but the ability is there. Hope this helps


Pretty neat program Pete

I purchased the knife design toolkit about a week ago. I'm still learning it as I get time, but it is a great program, and you can do some cool things not listed in the video.

Here is a few I have done with it. The knife next to the pink one is the software created one

I do this with Auto-Cad

to be accurate I trace the blade and then tape to my monitor and draw the outline you can then draw many versions

only problem you have to have Auto-Cad but you should be able to do the the same with MS Excel or office

Good Luck
