When you're using wood, once you have it shaped and sanded, you can coat it with a liberal coat of cheap super glue, spreading it around with a piece of stiff paper.... once the super glue cures you can finish sand it to a super smooth finish AND it will seal the wood and strengthen it.

When you added the eyeballs the voice inside my head suddenly went “Hey it’s me, Knifey” in Knifeys voice.
Amazing model, I was always thought it was funny how the gatlians in game ARE the guns, but Knifey is just a handle with an entirely normal, non organic knife sticking out of his head.
You should make more characters from that game, such as Kenny. I think Kenny would be interesting to see in a clay model especially due to how high quality this was. It looks like it was taken directly out of the game.

If you end up using wood to make a blade again, a technical I like to use is covering the wooden blade in aluminium plumbers tape. Then if you mist it with black spray paint and use some fine steel wool to pull as much paint off, you get a very convincing real steel effect. Then just rinse and repeat until you have the desired level of grime.

When I first saw this I thought "Huh, that's neat." Then I played High On Life and I realized it was the knife.
You should've put a super thin coat of plaster on the wood after the First sanding and then sand it again before the base coat... Because the wet paint raises the fibers in the wood and makes the grain visible.
I've never wanted a knife more in my life! Haha, great work sir. And congrats on the 1 million subs, Well deserved
