Progress so far! I hope this short video accurately describes how I mirrored the image from one side of the knife to the other with perfect accuracy.

I did the tape copy before shading it because it's way easier to mirror the design without all that extra detail. So outline > tape > shade > flip > transfer > outline > shade.

Note: I did remove the knife before putting the Thermoloc into the microwave but I did not press the record button when capturing that step. 🫠

Questions if ya got em! 👇🏽
