Stiletto

[Del Raso Knives]

Tried a few new tricks with this pointy girl.

Blade and guard are both hardened 440C. 300 series stainless for the spacers and pommel with a couple of brass accents. Also domed brass pin in blade. Stones in pommel are Garnet cabs in brass settings.

Handle section is turned out of micarta billiard cue section.

Overall length is 16 inches. Perfect for picking cake out of your teeth.

I just popped my head into BF and then I see THIS.

Color me FANBOY.

(There is a bit of Wayne Barrett inside all of us still. He's smiling.)

LOVE IT. Thanks Peter.

Cheers Coop. From the very first time I saw Wayne's work I wanted to try my hand at one. That must be close to thirty years ago. Never did as I always thought it was his thing.

Glad I got to chat to him about it not long before he passed away. This is my twist on the style but is definitely a nod to Mr. Barrett.

You done good. It's not an exact square so it's slightly PDR, and you nailed the transition from sharp to soft. SUCH a cool interpretation. Bravo.

Good fortunes!
