I recently finished a commission and I made a short video explaining the symbolic elements in the design.
This knife was a commemorative piece for the 50th anniversary of a search and rescue team I volunteered for from 1995-2003.
You can see the making of the blade here.
The video explaining the symbolic elements and a short discussion of using symbolism in design is now online.

That was a very thoughtful build Josh and good explanation in the video I enjoyed watching it.
Thank you Gilbert.
