A Light Vest Dagger

[TK Steingass]

Just finished this vest dagger - though the guard is substantial, it is deceivingly light in the hand with full hidden tang construction. Neutral balance at the solder joint. All comments welcome.

Very cool, is that a new handle design?

Wow! Absolutely a piece of Art, finely crafted. Very Nice Would something like this be for sale?

It looks great!

My only worry would be the depth of the thumb serrations on ricasso. Do they make the knife weak in that area?

I'll be down for several of your knives in 2019, and this might be one of them.

Oh goodness no - they’re only .015” deep.
