Desert ironwood dagger

[Shing]

Desert ironwood dagger, 5mm thick, 195mm long OI blade, brazed O1 steel guard, Desert ironwood handle with brass rivets. Its an practice piece for trying out brazing the guard in my kiln rather than use a torch. I left a thin line of brass solder at guard/blade joint to show the technique.

Its going to get a sheath soon.

Jealous of whoever ends up owning this one. Can't wait to see your next beauty! Pity shipping from the UK to the US is so expensive...

I shipped a few knives to US clients and the cost is only about twice that of shipping within Britain. So around $15 to ship to the US.

Gorgeous blade! I love the simple lines and contrast of the blade and the wood.
