Happy Halloween everyone!
 
Much happier! Very sharp, very pointy. Not quite perfect but close enough.
Grinds are for the most part good, a little uneven on one side but i can live with it.
A small gap between the tang and the guard but it IS soldered so it doesnt bother me.

Some light marks on the sheath but no deep gouges or globs of glue like the last one.

I'm a Bowie guy, for the most part. I currently only own two daggers. One is a sterile(unmarked) 6 1/4" Peter Bauchop Witch with symmetrical finger grooved, mortised 3/4 tang, brown micarta handle and blued D2 blade, $75 from an estate sale.(SOMEONE had no clue!) The other is a 6" ATS-34 black micarta handled specimen from Enedino Deleon out of Lubbock Texas.

Kind of looking for a Kershaw Trooper, and kick myself occasionally for not getting one while they were still being manufactured. I have had 2 of the Kershaw Special Agent daggers, but sold them YEARS ago. Had a Blackie Collins Frisco Shiv for awhile, but it also got sold. Altho it doesn't really qualify as a dagger, I also had a Gerber Command 1, bought at the Base Exchange at NTC San Diego in 1981.

Edited: No pics, I am a dinosaur....
 
do push daggers count? :)

here's my first attempt
a little side job in the last day and a half.
a push dagger for a surprise for my son.
It was an exercise in symmetry, It's not perfect but I learned alot
would love to do some more
tomorrow final sanding and polishing and a sheath

Steven65, sweet collection all around. Just NICE! 4 Bauchops, I'm kind of jealous! But not as much as I would be if I didn't have one myself.

Can't make out the maker's marks on a number of pieces in your display, the six across the bottom in particular, and the stiletto top left.

Edit: I see you are in South Africa, the Bauchops are not such a surprise!

Thanks:)
The six on the bottom were all made by the late Rob Brown. One of the best knifemakers SA has ever produced.
The Stilleto in the top left was made by a retired SA maker, Andrew Frankland.
I am lucky enough to have a number of really nice Bauchop's.....daggers and fighters.
This was my display a few weeks ago at the Cape Knifemakers Guild Show which I help to organise.
