Dagger...finally finished


This sucker is finally finished. The dagger has a 12 1/2" blade of 300+ layer "lazy twist" nickle-damascus. The handle is Sambar stag with ebony and bronze/brass/nickle-silver spacers and pins. The ends are bronze and file worked nickle-silver discs and the pommel is bronze with an onyx cabochon. Tess did a real nice blade sheath with a Celtic carving pattern. I gotta thank Jim Cooper (sharpbycoop.com) for doing a really nice picture, too. This one was way too much for me to photograph.

Guys, this one was a pleasure to handle. VERY well-made and clean.

J has to downsize his pics for his website. I don't....

Here's the close-ups:

Nice work all round. The blade looks excellent, the details on the handle and then the sheath has some nice detailing too to wrap it all up. I don't think you'll be keeping that one for long J.
