Daggers!

Here is another by Leo Todeochini, known here in the UK simply as Tod.

I am actually more fortunate to know Vince and Grace as friends, but yes I do have a kard that he made. Sometime in the next few years he might even make me something a lot longer with a basket type guard, hilt. ;)

Yes, honestly the Evans are one of the main reasons I go to Blade anymore, I haven't actually purchased anything there in years. I mostly just go and spend time talking with them. I was fortunate enough to be able to commission a piece this year and I hope in the future I might be able to commission something a bit longer as well, although I'll probably go for something of a bit earlier time period.
 
Here are a couple daggers I've got.
The first one is a Ka-Bar 2751.

Second, a BRKT-made Ek Commando 2.

In addition, I'm currently working on a dagger of my own... Don't have any photos yet, but I'm nearly finished shaping the blank. It's going to be a 9" double-edged coffin-handle. This will be my fourth knife, and my first one in probably 9 or 10 years. Fun getting back into it. :)

Here are a few of mine. Daggers are indulgance knives. I have a few others but no pics of them. I have always wanted a Graves dagger and now after this thread I think I need one of those Winkler daggers too!:D

I remember these daggers being carried by some of the guys at an army base I spent a few months in. I did not know it was a Loveless design. Now I must have one !!!

my only dagger, an 80's model kershaw trooper made before they put a serial # on the guard. Got it in bad condition for $30 at a pawn shop and fixed it up (had no sheath either so made one).
 
Those two "pocket smatchets" are pretty neat. No daggers here, but they can be very attractive to look at.
Thanks for the pocket smatchet moniker.I like it! As for the thumb,it rare i dont have some small injury to the hand.I should wear gloves,but they spoil the "feel".Here's a Case boot knife i dug out of the closet.I always thought they were cool.

This is my grandfather’s dagger, don’t know much about it, the guys over at the Bernard Levine's Knife Collecting & Identification forum think it’s a theatre knife. Probably made it himself some were out in the pacific.

Here's one of mine. Nothing special, but I haven't seen this one pop up yet. I like the wider profile daggers more than those needle point ones like the FS.
