Just finished this one. 6" blade of 01 steel, Grip is turned cocobolo, and is 4" to the top of the threaded brass ball retainer nut. brass ferrule with file decorated iron guard and domed iron butt cap which is threaded to the through tang, as is the retainer nut. I still have to make a sheath for it. Hope you enjoy a look.

I like it very much !! I particularly like the way you keept the handle slim as well as the blade ! Frank
 
I really like that one Wick! One look at it and the dagger speaks of the King and Queen era. Makes you want to watch your back while some one is giving you a hug! :eek:

The handle material compliments it very well. It is when you look at its sleek looks, very easy to overlook the time and effort that goes into such a piece. I can't wait to see it dressed out with one of your sheaths. :thumbup:
 
That's real classic. Very nice indeed. I agree with Dixieblade57 -- that's a lot harder
than it looks.
 
Thankyou all for your compliments. TAI, I consider your compliment as a high honor. Thanks.
