First welcome to Blade Forums.
I'm not really into the skull thing but this was not an easy piece to make
and you did well demonstrating an impressive degree of skill.
Would like to see more of your work.
Hope I remember to drop by your table at Blade.
 
Here is some more info about the dagger and the process to built it: There is a special story about this dagger. Nearly six years ago, my wife was seriously ill from cancer and since she died three years later in 2008 During this period I had many thoughts about death and life. Then A the idea started to process in my brain for this dagger, which I then built the year after her death. Now I found a beautiful woman in my life and to leave everything old behind me. Therefore I now sell this knife ...

The dagger is 21cm long and the blade is 10cm. The Skull that the dagger is stuck in to I bought at a flea market and i dont know what kind of metal it is.. The skull at the handle is an "old" silver ring that I rebuilt to fit into the theme of the dagger. The piece of wood that is attached to the skull is black/sunken Oak.
The rest of the handle is made ​​of stabilized spalted rowan, giraffe bone and mammoth ivory.
The blade is a stainless steel Damasteel that a guy from Denmark has made.
