This is a knife I've been wanting to build for a while. I have a real fondness for daggers. There's something about the sleek but deadly lines that does it for me. Kinda like a good looking woman:D.

This is an 11" blade of 300 layer 1084 and 15N20 damascus. The OAL is 15 3/4". It has a shaped and rounded guard of 416. The spacers are twist damascus with a coined ns spacer. The handle is a 416 frame with coined ns liners, ebony scales and domed silver pins. This will be one of my knives for sale at the OKCA show. Hope you like it.

Mike, You know that's one of the nicest daggers I have ever seen. I hope your not planing on bringing it to the Oregon Show, there is a 10" blade limit here. :D Have a safe trip on your way up here.
 
Mike, that is an awesome piece. I like everything about it. The guard and spacers are really a nice touch to an incredible blade. I'd like to hold that one in hand.

Someone is walking home from that show with a real beauty!
 
Extremely well done Mike.
It has a strong Tim Hancock influence and that's (of course) a good thing.
 
Wow! My favourite of yours to date. Just gorgeous in every respect.

Mike,

This one is elegant, clean, and has the finest of lines. ( I'm filled with envy.)

The crowd waiting outside is excited. The main event is about to begin and the anticipation is humming. There are limos, taxis, luxury cars and performance vehicles. Everything is represented.

Just then a mint '32 Ford Hot Rod is heard coming down the street; staying in first gear the engine is revving just a tad high, but it's a great sound. The crowd steps back, and all eyes follow as it swings into the drop-off area and the driver shuts it down.

The door swings open and a smartly-dressed gentleman emerges, tossing his keys to the attendant as he opens the passenger door for his stunning date.

THAT'S what we have here. :)

Mike Rays right, just leave that one at home.
Wow that looks like a winner. :thumbup:
 
Mike, that is absolutely awesome. :thumbup:I see what you meant about the coin work, it adds class in my opinion an edge on photo would be nice if you have one.

I now know what my next one from you will be after the other two you are making will be!!!:D:D

Sure has a touch of Tim in it. Good luck at the show.
