Gentlemen ,
I would like to show you a dagger that I finished recently.
A few months ago I made another damascus dagger , that you might remember , but this one is entirely made by me. I took a part in the forging of the blade. Everything else was made by mе with the cost of alot of work and fiddly operations to be able to achieve what I wanted.
All the components of the handle are fitted under the level of the wood and every one of them is made by hand except the end cap. No CNC mills or stuff like that . All the tools used are my 2x72 , dremel and drill press. And alot of hand filing.
The sheath also was a challenge. For the stitching of the belt loop part I had to use shortened to 0.5 inch needles. The stud is also made of damascus and inox.
I think it came out pretty good and I hope that you will like it .
Steel – 1.2519 laminated with damascus.
OAL - 300 mm (~11.8").
Blade - 160x24x5.2mm (~6.3x0.9x0.2 ")
Blade finish - p 800 and etched.
Handle – African blackwood , damascus and inox elements.
Leather sheath with snake skin.
Sheath stud - damascus and inox.
Weight with/without sheath - 230/335 grams.
