silver dagger

[m16a2soldier]

looking for a custom dagger for my wife. the design Im looking for for calls for a double edged, 4"-5.5" blade. the blade would have mildly curved edges. silver wire wrapped haft, slightly curved silver hilt, silver pommel, with a black fire opal or moonstone set in it, and finally a pentacle of gold(5 pointed star set inside a pentagon) laid on the haft. the sheath would match more or less, made of silver or polished steel, with the celtic tree of life on it with an integrated belt loop. If y'all can please point me to someone who can make this and give me an estimate I'd appreciate it.

Are you looking for an Athame?

 

[m16a2soldier]

something like that yes. my wife is Wiccan, and needs a knife for her altar.

Sounds like one, and an expensive one at that. I would want one with a damascus blade myself, with silver being one of the layers in the steel matrix, but then I am a bit superstitious . Seriously. Oh, and don't forget to specify a silver soldered guard (not just 'cause it's silver, because it's strong).

 

[m16a2soldier]

strong would be nice. I am thinking damascus or D2 steel for the blade

in a manor of speaking, werewolves too. but seriously. I need a good smith for this project

 

[macgregor22]

Have a custom maker make something then take it to a silversmith.

 

[m16a2soldier]

kind of defeats the purpose of having the knife smith make it. Any good smith would either be a good craftsman and artist, or would have access to one who can do the fine details

...Is she planning to use a ceremonial blade for cutting chores?

That would be like using a Grimoire as napkins.

I take it she's not Episcopalian

 

[Hawkings]

When you get it made we would love to see some pic's

 

[m16a2soldier]

the blade would be very functional as well as ceremonial. As far as what she'd use it for, Im not sure. Im not an active Wiccan. Episicopalian? Hell no. Pagan. And that blade pictured above looks satanic to me. wrong breed. please view my opening remark, and point me towards a good smith for the job.

 

[Buhbuhbonky]

uh ok, I assume she didn't tell you yet that usually those types of knives are used by wiccans to cut out their husbands' hearts while they sleep.

Sorry to be the one to tell you

 

[m16a2soldier]

ok. obviously spoken by someone who knows less about the craft than I do. Im not caring about purpose. just the construction.
