Hi All,
Was busy this week and made these 2 daggers. I would like to sell them as a set. One as a belt knife the other for behind your back. I have been working with a new Paragon oven this week, so my controls of the hardening and tempering are more fine-tuned than previously. These are rock solid at a Rockwell 61. I tried to put a hardened drill bit into another piece of metal that I treated the same way and got nowhere. Ditto for the file test.
So they ams what they ams. (Just dated myself and $5 dollars off if you know who I am talking about.)
The Specifics: The larger one.
Steel: Aldo’s 3/16ths 1095 hollow grind on a 5-inch wheel a very sharp
Hardness: 61
Finish: Mirror
Length: 8.5 inches
Length: Tip to scale 4 7/8 inches
Blade width: 1 inch at the widest
Distance across the Guard: 2 inches
Handle Material: Zebrawood
Handle Length: 3 5/8 inches
Handle Width: 7/8 inches
Handle Height: 7/8 inches narrower at the blade a little thicker near the end
Balance point is just behind the Guard.
Price for the set including shipping is $225; add another $25 for 2 sheaths
Price for just the larger one $135 including shipping add another $15 for the sheath
The Specifics: The smaller one.
Steel: Aldo’s 3/16ths 1095 hollow grind (concave) on a 5-inch wheel and very sharp.
Hardness: 61
Finish: Mirror
Length: 6 5/8 inches
Length: Tip to scale 3.5 inches
Blade width: 7/8 inch at the widest
Distance across the Guard: 1 5/16 inches
Handle Material: Zebrawood
Handle Length: 3 1/8 inches
Handle Width: 3/4 inches
Handle Height: 1/2 inch narrower at the blade a little thicker near the end
Balance point is at the first brass pin back from the blade.
Price for the set including shipping is $225; add another $25 for 2 sheaths
Price for just the smaller one $115 including shipping add another $15 for the sheath
Thanks for looking, Ken
