parachute dagger



This one was designed and commissioned by Jorgen Wallgren in Singapore and ships in the morning.
It sports a dagger grind with swedge. The blade is mirrored S30V 8" hollow ground. Heat treat by Paul Bos. The handle is black line spalted maple burl stabilized by WSSI with a dark blue liner for accent. The bolster has been dovetailed. Lots of subtle detail in the design and my determination to get a very symmetrical knife that made it one of the toughest I've ever made. It took me three attempts on the grind to get it where I wanted it. The first two went in the trash.
Thanks for looking....

Hey, ME FIRST !

Seriously, Beautifully executed. Those grinds look great and the mirror polish on S30V can't have been easy... I can't tell from the pic if you solder your bolsters on, but those look like they are integral bolsters ! The handle profile is perhaps a bit square for my personal liking but on this shape handle it likely makes no difference to the comfort factor. Jason.
