Fairbairn Sykes special damascus dagger

[ArielSalaverria]

Hi gentlemen,

This is the final step of the tutorial on the Fairbairn Sykes dagger, enjoy!
this knife was a custom order and I still need to make the box for it.


Cutting a piece of wood (Itin) for the handle.

Drilling the center for the blade's tang.

Manually shaping the handle and finishing it with 400 grit sandpaper.

Placing the already shaped handle into the blade.

Piece of damascus for the pommel.

Working on that piece (drilling, threading and grinding it)

Final manual sanding.

Threading the pommel on the threaded end of the blade's tang.

Finished knife!

Thanks for looking

Regards,

Ariel

Holy mother of god that's a nice looking piece.

However did you drill all the way through the wood? I've been trying to figure it out myself, I have a stick tang blade I need to get a handle onto.
