blacklip dagger - folder # 7

[SVanderkolff]

Well here is folder #7, very similar to folder 6 . I like making daggers, the need for simitry adds that little added spice. This one I think is good enough to sell.
bolsters - Eggeling Damascus
blade and back spacer - Matt Walker Damascus
slabs - blacklip mother of pearl ( I have lots of this)
screws are 0-80 gold plated
.040 titanium liners

Let me know what you think and all suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Yes!!! I love it!
I saw the gallery on your website, and I find that your design "flavor" goes very well with my taste. This one is no exception. What is the blade length?

This is just a suggestion, would it improve the overall look if you used a gemstone in the thumb stud?

Blade length bolster to tip is 2 7/8". And yes I probably will start using some jewelled thumb studs once I find some place to buy them.
Thanks for the comments

Very nice! I don't know about a jeweled thumbstud, but one a little less "industrial" looking would be very nice. Maybe something solid with a little filework? Or an inlaid bit of black lip?
