Really like the dagger - nicely done. I like the handle design on both knives. When I apply bolsters, I use hidden pins or through pins made from black micarta rod when using micarta or ebony. Was the upswept curve in the knife by design?
 
I really like both of those. I'm a fan of Brute De Forge and they are both beautifully done.
 
me likey!
 
Good work.
The dagger is top shelf:thumbup:

Everyone seems to prefer the dagger. I like the second knife best.
Looking at the pins on the bolster I like them exposed like you did.
Just seems to give the overall appearance a good balance.
 
those are really nice i really like the handle shaping on both of them.

on a side note you might want to edit out your products page it might be against the rules with our level of membership (registered user) im not sure since its just a link
 
Wow, both great looking knives!

The Dagger is very cool!

I'm with you
 
Very nice. I've been wanting to try the Keeslar style dagger. Don't think my control is there, yet.
 
I would have picked the second knife as my favorite if it had almost any other blade shape than it does. That modern tanto type just doesn't float my boat. I really like how you managed to keep the ricasso fairly short and still incorporate the squashed integral finger guard. Most of this type blade have far too much space between the handle scales(bolsters in this case) and the plunge of the bevels. I love the handle shape and the domed pins on the bolsters are great.......just not a fan of the blade shape. Make one with a clip point and it'll be a good candidate for the bowie competition:thumbup:

The materials are so warm and aged looking. Very historical aura.

The tip on #2 throws the viewer a curve ball. ;)

It's no wonder you are proud!
