The story of Leda and the Swan was the basis for this project.  The story goes that Zeus had a lustful infatuation for the beautiful Leda and after her refusal of him on several occasions he devised a plan to seduce her.  Zeus caught Leda bathing in a pool.  He disguised himself as a swan and had his pet eagle chase him into the pool.  Leda took the swan into her arms to protect it from the eagle's attack.  While in her arms Zeus took advantage (dirtbag).

This whole project is cut with a combination of bulino line and cut dot technique.  Ray likes working themes on this model knife.  while it is a lot of work the ability to wrap the theme around the spine of the knife really adds a lot to the project.
