That handle construction is incredible... It should have been be super difficult to have everything so square tight and aligned correctly :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Curved steel mating surfaces, ivory and dowel pins...it spreads perfection in every direction!!!!!!
 
Yep, I gotta say that construction shot of the handle frame is really nice. Bravo. Also I like the integral bolster with guard construction.
The wootz angle is very cool, and I really love Kards as well. Don't see them made much, and made convincingly, even less. That's why I've never tried one yet. Yours will be in watered crucible steel- pretty authentic! I bet it will be amazing.
 
Thank you!
The construction of this model was very difficult and I absolutely wanted a pommel with a nice curve.
For the Kard, here is another picture. The handle is in fossil walrus

Some pictures of the two finished knives.
As soon as I have a moment, I would put a WIP on making my dagger MS.
