Hunter Douglas Martin Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well my best friend wants me to make a dagger for his brothers birthday. A double sided 7" blade dagger made from 1095 Handle will be burned in and wire wrapped. I plan a simple straight and rounded cross guard. The neat thing will be a triangular pommel with the triforce etched in Do I know how I'm going to attach that yet? no but I'll figure it out! Here are some pics after I ground and hardened the blade.

pkrankow Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I don't recall Link every carrying a dagger...that means little though. Are you thinking about making the pommel peened on, or do you have some other idea? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Douglas Martin Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Haha well it's just a zelda themed dagger You know I'm not sure. I thought about a peen but I just don't see how thats possible in a way that would maintain a triangular shape. Unless the triangles point was up. In face I'm an idiot, don't listen to me, that sounds entirely more sensible than what I had planned. Yup so there you go, triangle's point will face up and the end will be peened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akad Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was gonna say either have the triangle point up if you're willing to compromise for simplicity's sake, or use a tap and die set to thread the end of the tang and the drilled hole of the pommel, which would allow you to keep the triangle pointed down. *edit: Though I guess [using a tap and die set] that this would mean you'd have to shape the lower portion of the tang into a cylinder, or forge weld a small piece of round steel to the very end of the tang.

Hunter Douglas Martin Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah I'm almost certainly going to point the triangle up, seems so much simpler and It'll still look great! Also, I finished the temper and the knife has some seriously great flexibility! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
