Thanks for commenting and following along everyone!

Here are the final pics. I'll start a new thread with the finished dagger pics.





Went for a old school look on the sheath also. It is hand stitched, dyed and waxed. It is also Molle lok compatible for other carry options. Randall style retention cord on the handle.
Reinforced tip.

Ben, those are spot on. I think you nailed them. The micarta change was a great idea.
Excellent stuff!

Great job, looking forward to seeing the dagger. Seems like anything Ben takes on, turns out really good.

Thanks very much everyone!
I doubt I will take orders for these specifically, but if there is interest I would like to do a full tang M3 style knife. That would bring the price way down.
