Hi Dan,
I bow in humbleness to the knives. My work is easy. I look great when I have a supermodel to photograph....! :thumbup:
Guys, I will point out that the dagger comes with a wonderful presentation stand (which I couldn't include) and two sets of quillions/pommel: Long and short.
That said, I decided to show all the variations. See that the inset has the short ones and the main display has the long ones. Pretty tricky stuff, Dan!!
That dirk has such a great shape, and Dan's forging of the distal taper was a standout, so I used that to display.
I don't see a problem with his inclusion in LB500.....
Thank you.
Coop

A buddy of mine saw this and said I needed to post materials size etc. So, the dagger has a 12 1/2 inch blade and is 17 1/2 inches overall with nickel silver fittings, damascus made by me (1095 and nickel) sterling silver pins in the carved elephant ivory. The Gentlemans fighter has a 10 inch blade with damascus fittings made by me (1095 and nickel) and elephant ivory (ivory pre-ban).

Coop did a fine job of showing off those magnificent knives.
Those are really nice!
The bowie (or fighter - I don't quite understand the fine differences between the classification, sometimes it seems obvious but other times it doesn't), reminds me of a knife I have seen from Don Fogg before. I dont' know if the style is his or something older. In either case, it's a nice style and a fine execution of it here.
Thanks for showing.
