 i finally finished this
after a little over a year, i decided to finish this dagger, mostly i had the handle to do, so i whittled something out of a few pieces of wood i found, wasnt what i was after when i started, but this is how it ended up
the handle is 3 pieces of wood, i think the guard is a bit large, and i wish i would have made it of metal
oneday, maybe ill change it
the blade 8 inches long, is made up of approximately 160 layers of 1060 steel, i started with 11 layers 3/4" by .045" by 8 inches long, forge welded together and folded 4 times
here's a few pictures
