Here's a stiletto style dagger that I just finished, full custom from bar stock. My brother, Travis, has an identical blade. We started with a pair of blades and a challenge to push ourselves to more complex work. The blade is 154 CM stainless and the fittings are 416 stainless. The handle is mother of pearl with domed nickel silver pins, a fileworked frame, coined liners, and carved bolsters. The guard has shell ends, and carved studs. The studs are stainless screws that I shaped the head and screwed into tapped holes in the guard that were put there to hold them. Overall length is just short of 14 inches with a 9 inch blade. I'll have it on my table at the Dallas show June 13/14.

We're in with the Dallas Arms Collector's show at Market Hall next weekend. About 35 knifemakers lined up, best I've heard.
