Recent dagger work

[Les George]

It only took 8 pounds of titanium to make this 9 oz handle.

I didnt have any 2 inch wide titanium, so I have to make it out of 2 pieces of 1 inch Ti and dovetail the sides together. The tang wedges in and locks it all in place. Made the blade an inch longer than the originals because I wasnt gonna cut an inch off and toss it.





















the sheath is made out of G10



New and old, I couldnt resist



Thanks for looking!

Intent isn't in question, I love what you've done. :thumbup:
Extremely nice looking damascus on this piece and super nice guard.
Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding , I really love the looks of that.. Very clean

Very nice Les. A fitting tribute :thumbup:

That looks amazing! That is really cool how you dovetailed the handle. It struck me it would be kind of neat if the handle were engraved with U.S. 2015 and then your initials as the company name. Really stunning.

Very skillful work. I'm also a fan of the '97's.
