"Asymetrical" Dagger.

[Magnus Axelson]

Hello all!

After a long while I thought I would show the latest piece I have just finished:

It is what I call an asymetrical dagger, the blade is stainless Damasteel, guard and pommel are bronze and the wood is Birch burl that was stabilized in grey.

The bronze in the guard and pommel have been finished in three different "grits" to enhance the metal "feel" and to better show the different angles an facets.

Spacers in nickel silver and bronze separate the parts of the handle and there is a piece of Damasteel there as well.

Leather sheath with bronze and Damasteel details.

The overall length is a little over 16" (405mm), with a blade length of 11" (280mm).




















Any and all comments are more than welcome!

Kind Regards
/Magnus

That is beautiful. Well done. Photos are also great, love all the details in this knife. As for the name, isn't a dagger by definition symmetrical. Not that it matters to me, just curious.

Magnus- every piece bearing your mark is exceptional, but this one stands out- to me.
It feels as though I'm witnessing a shift. It strikes me that this piece has something in it, beyond the materials.

Outstanding craftsmanship, in particular your attention to detail always blow my mind! Your innovative and inquisitive approach to knife making is very inspiring
