XHP dagger

[butcher_block]

been doing this a little here and there as i finished razors and kitchen knives.
the blade is XHP and is 6.25 long and hollow ground on a 10 inch wheel then hand sanded.
the guard is SS as is the pin the handle is stabilized redwood lace burl and there is a black liner/spacer
any and all feed back welcome as always
thanks for looking

I love the elegance. Flow is beautiful.

 

[Wulf]

Awesome! Great symmetry in those grinds and that guard is wicked!

 

[AVigil]

That's nice!

 

[Clem Kadiddlehopper]

That is NICE!

I would like to see more with some variances?

Like a darker handle material? (Black Wood) and maybe same type guard but a touch smaller on the width?....
And maybe a more rounded handle with some mosaic pins.

None the less - great work.....:thumbup:

[Alicia LeCroix]

Thats one spectacular looking Dagger

 

[Lorien]

that would be ultra badass if you murdered it out; bluing, ebony....

 

[butcher_block]

i think the closest i woudl come to blacking it all out would be to use all damascus

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Incredible work! Every detail is top notch.

 

[beelzy]

Awesome!

 

[Lorien]

how about mild steel guard hot blued, damascus blade?

 

[butcher_block]

that would work too and maybe a 8 inch blade

 

[Lorien]

now yer talkin!

 

[RogerP]

Lloyd - that is a terrific piece. I applaud your stepping outside of your comfort box to try something like this. The contours of the guard are exceptional.

Oh, and stop listening to Lorien about blackening everything out!

 

[Sonnydaze]

Darned nice knife, Butch.
