Russian bear's dagger.

Long time wanted to make a Russian knife of 16th century, finally reached the hands, damask.

I like it.
How are those big studs on the hand?
So far, Ive only experimemted with small rivets and they barely clear the handle slabs. Hardly makes a difference, one can barely feel them when using the knife, though I realize, that might not be a concern with this knife
 
I love the ethnic feel these knives evoke. Wonderfully attractive knives. They are such a nice blend of form and function.
 
It's a heavy hunting knife for killing the beast out of the dog, it is not intended for long hard work, the main thing - that it does not slip out of wet hands. Traditional Caucasian dagger - Kama also had similar rivets.

Good point and nice tie to the past.
With a purpose like that, you dont want the knife to slip!
Wow, the 'spikes' on that last knife..........! :eek:
 
In the old days people held a weapon not as a hammer, people held weapon as a weapon, then was the unwritten law - do not take out a knife if not ready to kill and took out - kill.
