Destiny: Hunter Knife Fan Art

Fan art of the Hunter Knife from Destiny and Destiny 2. I wanted to create my own version, with a slightly different feel compared to the original. I felt that the strapping should be prominent and one of the key personalization pieces, leaving the blade have that almost crude feeling of the original.

The in-game weapon description could read like this: "The knife was cut and hammered until functionality was achieved, with minimal finishing. The blade is sharpened on the field with a rough mechanical sharpening tool and no time for polish.
The knife has to be ready.
The enemy will not wait."
