I need a dagger of sorts, please help.

[Blue Palaquin]

Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my mistake if I have posted this request on the wrong forum.

I am in need of a knife or dagger of sorts. It needs to have specific measurements: 10.5" x 3/4" x 1/8". That 1/8" measurement is essential. I decided to try my hand at making a xiphoid. Do you all have any suggestions as to where I could get something like this? I need to be able to take the pommel, sleeve, handle, etc. off. I would not rather buy a replica blade for fear of it breaking, however, if I can get a sturdy replica I can sharpen, treat, and use as though it were real, I will settle (although by then it should be real).

Please reply, thank you all.

Please don't make one of those, especially if you have yet to make a knife from scratch or have no machining experience. There are so many ways to injure or maim yourself even when the blade's not sharpened - that's a lot of pent-up pressure strapped to your body on a very vulnerable area.
If you want an easy-access hidden dagger go for a low profile blade with forearm sheath. THAT is something I could help you with
