September 24, 20187 yr 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
October 22, 20187 yr 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
October 22, 20187 yr 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!

October 23, 20187 yr Author 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.
