New 18th c. Euro Dagger
« on: April 24, 2013, 06:35:59 PM »

 Not a copy of any particular dagger, but more just a generic composite. Blade of 01 steel, 7" x 1" x 5/32" with a through tang. Blade tapers in thickness from 5/32" to about 3/32" nearing the point. Grip is Cocabola with a brass ferrule and steel butt cap. Butt cap is threaded on the tang, and topped with a threaded brass ball. Guard is steel with hand cut file decoration. Hope you enjoy a look. A brass collared sheath is in progress.

Another triumph, Wick ! Another triumph.
"No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company."
