Dagger

[JamesG]

Forged this one couple days before xmas , Etched some wrought irom for a and cap.Then I found a crack in the handle so i went throw my stash and some with some nasty smelling elk.cut and sanded,Then found some walnut I thought until I was sanding the woood it turned yellow.So I think is osage wood. Cold blued gaurd.

Ps.Sucky pics because I was happy how it turned out. I take some better pics.

That's a mean looking piece of machinery. I have very little knowledge about old knives but it looks like it would fit right in with some I have seen in museums.

Dadgummit James,

Why do you have to make such awesome works of art when I'm broke?

Beautiful knife James. What are the specs on it BTW?
Just when I was thinking about having you make a dagger for me a couple months back, you come up with one prettier than I had wanted. Good thing I waited.
Guess I'm gonna have to start saving my pennies again.
Great job!!! :thumbsup: :hatsoff:
