Title: Antler Handled Dagger
Post by: lonehunter on March 24, 2013, 06:21:08 PM
There comes a time once and a while (to remain sane) that one needs to put aside orders and make what you want to make.
This is the product of one of those moments.
5 7/8" Blade of 0-1 Steel
4 1/8" Antler handle
Iron guard, Ferrule, and pommel
All lightly aged
As always, Thanks for looking and comments welcome

Moments like that seem to be well worth the wait.

Cannot help but think, though, that it looks a little too short.  Am thinking an inch longer blade would proportion it out better.
