A Fairbairn-Sykes style dagger

Phillip Patton · May 29, 2014

I just got myself a Harbor Freight mini lathe, and the handle for this knife is the first thing I've made with it.

Steel: O1, forged

Hardness: 59-60 Rc

Blade length: 6-1/2"

Total length: 11-1/8"

Blade thickness: 9/32" at guard

Handle material: natural canvas micarta

Fittings: the guard is nickel silver, the pommel nut is 416 stainless.

Price: $450 + $15 shipping

I can take paypal, check, or MO. Please send paypal to 2000pjp at gmail dot com
If using a check, allow 10 business days for it to clear before shipment. Please make sure knife is still available before sending payment.

Sheath will probably be like the one in the picture, but doesn't have to be.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome, Sir! Did you lathe that Micarta? Don't see that everyday!

^edit: bid duh on my part, missed the first time around that that's exactly what you did. Love that piece!

I'm over budget like a fat man at a cruise ship buffet!
Love It. Dang that is what a dagger is supposed to look like IMHO.

Beautiful work! I love your blades, and I love this style of knife. If only I hadn't bought a new zoom lens two weeks ago...

Truly great work :thumbup:

Wow! I always enjoy your knives. This is no exception.

Not saying the handle isn't great, but the GLORIOUSLY symmetrical plunges and bevels is what I keep going back to! I know, I know---it's Phillip and we expect it. Still worth mentioning.

That is EXACTLY what I meant when I said "wonderfully made"!
