That is fantastic! My hats off to you. Dagger are tough and that one is just beautiful.

I have made maybe a half dozen and I always find them a challenge; which is a good thing I think. Thanks for your post.

One fantastic piece. I really love what you decided with the handle.

Thank you sir! The odd shape of the blade itself did not make the design of the handle apparent. A lot of time was spent trying different looks shapes and materials.

Fred Thats very impessive. Ive never been a big fan of daggers til now.

I appreciate the kind words.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words this explains the process better than I can. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=758539&highlight=feather+pattern

There is a good deal of work involved to get good results but to me it is well worth the effort.
