Well, after some technical help from Coop
Here's an forged integral dagger from MS Mike Quesenberry with 2 sets of scales!
As you can see, it has an integral carved rear bolster as well, and the scales are perfectly "museum fit". Sheath is by the great Paul Long.
Gives 2 very different looks, which I think is cool
Another detail photo from Coop showing the "innards" of the construction:
Mike is really a peerless craftsman, but I did torture him a little with this one - LOL
Coop did his usual excellent job displaying all the facets of this piece
