Confederate Dagger inspired

[stephanfowler]

This knife has taken me WAY too long to finish, seems like everything that could go wrong did (this is the THIRD handle on this bad boy)

that being said, I'm really happy with the end result.

13" of W2 Awesomness
Amboyna Burl Handle
Twist damascus fittings.

And a butt shot because I like how well the damascus turned out

Very nice! I like the blade, hamon, burl, damascus, all of it! Great job!

Edit: Even the photos are great! (although your ISO was too high for the butt shot) Hey, I had to find something to complain about!

Stephan, while it sounds like it wasn't a quick trip getting there, you arrived with an outstanding piece.
Beautiful dagger. :thumbup:

Looks great, Stephan, too bad you couldn't find a piece of wood with any figure!

Bravo Stephan, I know that one cost you a lot of bodily fluid, as in blood, sweat and tears!
