Hey,

I am looking for a wide double-edged dagger blade for my current knife-making project. I am having no luck in finding a non-custom blade that fits what I was looking for (see below). If anyone has suggestions for sites that sell just blades or for what type to use, or, if by chance you has seen a similar blade type, please let me know.

Thank you,

-Gabe-

Gabe,
First welcome to the BF.
Second, what you want is a custom blade from a catalog supplier. That is an oxymoron. The blade for that knife can be easily (well easily by a maker who knows how) made ,but it has to be the exact size ,tang and dimensions to work. There are several technical problems with the design, but that was not your question (and I assume this is a fantasy knife, anyway). There are several makers on this forum who might make that blade for you, but it would not be a cheap job. If you are trying to adapt a stock blade to work, I would try Texas Knife Supply, Jantz, K&G, and those type of suppliers. TKS has a lance blade that looks a bit like your drawing.

Now, as to you personally....
We don't know anything about you, because you didn't fill in your profile???
We don't know whether to tell you to go to the Blade show or not, because you might live in Denmark??? You could be my neighbor and I could make the blade.....but we don't know???

Filling out your profile will tell us a lot. It also gives us some things to base our replies on. A 13 year old pseudo ninja will get an entirely different answer from a retired NASA engineer.

Welcome again - Stacy
 
That blade to have any kind of strength needs to be a forged intergral design. I would be willing to make one for you if a working blue print is available. Please email me for some discussion and a quote but make sure you are sitting down. We are in the art realm now. I love it.

BTW Stacy is right. I couldnt even email you.
 
Gabe, Crazy Crow Trading Post, may have something you can "adapt" to your design. They have a 6" Sykes Fairbairn style blade. But to get it axactly right, I'd take somebody up on their offer to make it for you. It will be a much more satisfying finished product.
Cheap is NEVER the way to go; it always costs more in the long run.
