That is so cool, great job on the fittings. :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[BladeScout]

Very nice.

Interesting 'Akula' guard.

Overall sleekness and elegance reminds me of a beautiful Bulgarian WWII royal officers dagger, I saw in Sofia, Bulgaria years ago.

You are doing very interesting things! Amazing job!!

 

[Craig Daniel]

Absolutely bad to the bone.

A true piece of functioning art. It draws your attention to each & every aspect of the knife. Great work!

That's a truly charming knife. A cursory glance would give the impression of some sort of military dagger. Then with a clearer view one goes huh?

You should list it on eBay as a WWII German Submarine Dagger

Thanks to all! Of course, I know about the Bulgarian dirk and many others like daggers I have them all there in my collection but I swear I do not copy painted just from the head, all the daggers in my head ... As for the functionality: I strongly believe that even decorated weapon in the first place - a weapon and should be fully operational. And yes - my congratulations to the new president!

I have seen a LOT of themed knives over the years... :yawn:

This one I never saw coming. WOW! :thumbup:

Bravo! Good thread.

Great work again Makandr. Your diversity is amazing.

What tools or technique did you use for the octopus, squid and shark?

Thanks.

 

[makandr]

Boron and cutters for steel engraving.

 

[Murray White]

wonderful exotic artistic dagger. Nice to see so many great works of art being produced.

Dont worry, I didnt imply that at all - if anything, I simply remarked that one beautiful dagger reminded me of another beautiful dagger

Besides, your dagger and the adornments wont be mistaken for anything else.

A naval dirk fit for the crew of captain Nemo.

 

[makandr]

Yes, for Nemo.
