Well... I didn't copy it by hand... when you make a mold it's an exact replica (the mold for this wasn't very good.. IE the rough edges, I plan on making a better mold soon). The reason it's not all that transparent is because I mixed A LOT of dye in with the plastic....

as far as the handle goes... working on that... I made a mold of that too right now I'm trying to figure out exactly how to cast a piece of metal inside (for support).
