metalmaster1766 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 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 Ron Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I like it, the blade looks like a snake or lizard tail and the handle goes well with it, real animal like. The guard is like legs or wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
