That deep fuller starts out as a 3/8" diameter but narrows to an 1/8" diameter so it's depth would remain deep as it went along the blade with the blade width narrowing.

This required surface milling and a lot of stoning and blending and is one reason my elbow is out of elbow grease lol...

I don't think I'll be undertaking another one of these any time soon. Great experience though.

The scales are black G10. They're held on with a total of 16 hidden threaded pins in 32 square bottomed threaded holes, bedded with Acraglas

I lost actually lost some sleep figuring out how to sharpen this point without messing it up at the last minute.

My very simple hominid brain can't even figure out as to how hidden threaded hardware works with those inlayed looking handle scales!

Nathan, is Dagger the official pattern name then? I have also seen folks referring to it as a short sword and I know that the person (AKA Turd Blossom) who had originally commissioned the special project with you, was thinking a sword at the beginning. Just curious as to how you exactly baptized it? It sure as heck looks like a larger version of your 10" Daggers to me, so I'm just being curious as had stated!

It is a large dagger. A bit larger than a typical Main Gauche, but would function as one. Honestly the idea behind it is a post apocalyptic murder weapon...

6-32 pins bedded in 8-32 holes. They pop in and the acraglas becomes solid

That might as well be written in Chinese!

J/K, I get it... Well sorta

That's why, out of respect for your elbow, I'll take my boot dagger as machined

Really, it's totally for your benefit...I'll take that one for the team

Remember now your science,
which says that when a thing has more perfection,
so much the greater is its pain or pleasure.

Can anyone get in on this action, I’m take the second one in case there’s any tweaks necessary to make machining easier.

Are you ever going to repeat this pattern? Got one for Mom but she’s not giving it up!

I would like to.

 

[woodysone]

Now get Sadie on your side and maybe we can persuade Nathan.

 

[WValtakis]

I would like to.

I'd give it another shot...I kinda miss mine...the only CPK I ever sold without having a backup

Hey Chip,since it's our day, lets go for broke, a potato knife and skinner, please a short run kind lady.

I'm in!

(Oh yeah, and my boot dagger)

I almost forgot your willingness to take a chance on the first one, good on you Sir!

My dad’s EDC2. He used this to clean his septic tank a while ago, cut a bunch of roots that had grown in there and other septic tank stuff, then soaked it in bleach. I’ve seen it since but never got the “after” pics until the other day.
