NEW LOW PRICE!
Here is a dagger I made a few months ago. I finally found some time to finish it by making a sheath for it.
Knife Specifications:
Blade: Made from 0-1 tool steel, length is 5 inches.
Handle: Rare snakewood, hand polished to a soft luster, length is 4".
Guard/Pommel: Sculpted and patinated bronze.
Ferrules: Sculpted and fire-blued stainless steel.
Sheath Specifications:
The sheath is made from 8-ounce vegetable-tanned cowhide. The stitching and tooling was all done by hand. The concho is solid bronze, sculpted with a dragonfly motif which I feel compliments the yin-yang flower sculpting of the pommel. The concho is made of the same bronze as the other knife furniture, and will age and deepen in color evenly along with the others.
In this last pic, you can see the yin-yang flower carved into the pommel. For some reason, I could never get this photo right. Basically, I am apologizing for the crappy big black blotch you see in the yin side (or is that the yang side?), which is a reflection of me taking the photo.
Perhaps one of you will find a spot for it in your collection? I'm asking $400 which is way less than the $650 I posted this dagger fpr sale back in January. Priority Mail Shipping is on me. Contact me via email for the fastest response. It may take a while for me to get back here to check PMs. Thanks!
Thanks for looking!

Jeff that is one beautiful piece. Where did you learn to sculpt like that?
