D.IVO Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Daggers are becoming my favorite type of knive, simple yet difficult to get right. Spring steel blade: 16cm Copper guard and pommel Handle made from oak, palo santo and aluminium. Through tang construction and peened at the end. Leather sheath engraved with weave. Always a pleasure to share my work and critics are always welcome. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabass Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Wow D.IVO. That is beautiful. Literally the only thing I can critique, and as I'm a newbie take it with a grain of salt, is to maybe cover the bottom of the tang. Everything else looks so perfect and polished to perfection but that bottom of the tang looks a little unfinished. Like I said, just my opinion. Awesome beauty Seabass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I love daggers. This one looks great but could use a little improving at the bolster and beginning of the bevel area. Looks like you got all the handle parts fit nice and tight. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this would look sleeker with more definition in the plunge lines. Seabass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awrksmokey Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 That's an impressively shiny blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.IVO Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 My initial plan was to do the plunge lines only on the belt grinder, for a smoother transition into the bevel. Not pleased with it because I know I can do much better with just a file. It's the only thing i dont like about this knife. Thanks for the feedback.
