A fine set that has a very heavy stand. The handle on both of these are fossil walrus artifacts. The dagger handle was a scraper, and the knife some sort of wedge just not sure what it was for. With ends as it came out of the ground on both. Fittings are nickel silver and sterling. I made the Ladder pattern Damascus out of 1080 and 15n20 steel for both blades. The dagger is ground from 1/4" thick billet and the Blade length is 3 3/4 inches long and overall length is 7 1/8 inches. The knife has a blade that is 3 1/2 inches long and overall is 7 inches. The stand is made from solid stock of brass. This stand is very heavy. Both fluted columns are solid brass and 3/4 dia. and 4 inches tall. All pieces are solid brass. The base is 4 1/2 inches long, 2 inches deep and 1 1/2 inches tall with felt on the bottom. After machining and sanding to a fine brush finish I coated with a lacquer that prevents tarnish. It is heavy. Both knives are sharp. This is one of my finer pieces. The set is "SOLD" and 15.00 for mail in USA address . My paypal is dangraves4923@earthlink.net Thanks and enjoy the photo's.


Don,t say Damascus when paying by paypal as homeland security will put a hold on it.

Cant ship to New York, California and New Jersey. There is a ban there.

I’ve got my set in the living room for eye candy....wife likes it, too.
 
Thanks guy's. The stand on this one will probably be the only one I do because it is hard to find a solid brass base this size. I really like it so I will be looking though. When on a desk or coffee table and reach over and knock it, it won't tumble over.
