**SOLD** Jim Baker's Gladius-Inspired Dagger

[Freth]

Unfortunately, times are tough and I have to let this one go. Below is the original description from the thread Jim made (still viewable here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=746114), along with pictures. The knife is still in mint condition, never used. I am asking **SOLD** (PayPal fees, shipping included in price) via PayPal and in CONUS only. No trades please. Thank you for looking!

This dagger was based on the profile of the Gladius sword, although it's much more modern in construction. This is the first one, but I will be making more shortly.

The blade is a full 1 1/2" wide, with a point similar to the Gladius. Despite the width, it pierces very well - thanks to the deep hollow grinds (both sides) and super sharp edge. The balance is slightly handle heavy and feels great.
It includes a leather belt sheath which, thanks to some careful welt fitting and forming, has great retention. The belt loop stitching is recessed in a groove on the inside of the sheath to keep it safe from the sharp blade.

* 4 1/2" blade, 9" overall
* 3/16" thick 154CM; Paul Bos h.t. at 58-60rc
* Hand sculpted Black and grey G-10 scales
* 4-40 Torx fasteners
* 8-9 oz. weight black leather belt sheath
