Tight market, this one should have moved fast at 200$. The grinds look superb.

Thanks again, guys! Historical daggers are a large part of my knifemaking background, although I took a deliberate turn towards more modern style knives a couple of years ago. There are a couple more original daggers that I have my eye on to re-create as time permits. A fellow on another forum...

You don't want to be the guy who is holding this project up (I can say that now because I voted), we can't build these until the design is chosen. All are worthy designs so if you are stuck on the decision, know that any choice is a good one, except choosing to not vote. The sooner we get this...

Welcome, and thank you for your service, from myself and my family. We are proud of our Marines! AZ is looking to become the new knife state, we have had a lot of new members from here lately.

Sandbaggers!

Waterjet cutting and second-party heat treating are both common in the industry. The general consensus is that they are still handmade, although I think it is a matter of professional etchics to be up front with your customers about third party or contracted services. If it offers them better...

Thank you, Denny! This one has been in the works for 2 years plus. The first blade re-curved during the quench (last blade I HT'd in my forge BTW, guess why!), so I re-made it, and re-made the grip also because of a check that was exposed in shaping the thin portion of the grip. There was no...

Welcome!

This is based on an original in the Wallace Collection, which is one of the most beautiful weapons I have ever seen. It is pictured in "Arms and Armor of the Medieval Knight" by David Edge and John Miles Paddock, on p. 150. This is the only extant photograph I can find of it, and being a...

(sale pending)Tasker model, cpm3v and forest green/OD green G10 My Tasker model in Crucible's cpm3v tool steel, with forest green/OD green layered G10 scales. This is the ultimate edc knife, lightweight and sized for technical work. The QD clip allows more carry options than I can list and...

I use a few divided plastic storage bins for small bits and such, even tried fixing one down to the back corner of my bench so it stays put (losing one bit is bad enough, try losing 75 or so at a time). Probably the biggest organizational boost I have had was building a rotating tool...

Very nice, the S-guard is a perfect accent for those curves.

Welcome!

Nice looking rig! I am finding that you can get cool effects with the thick black spacer material and heavily contoured scales, I really like what it adds to this piece.

I do agree that there are makers and smiths whose knowledge is valuable enough to pay for, but the attitude this guy displayed is something I would pay to get rid of, myself. I normally feel a bit jealous of guys who get to learn from the masters, but I feel a little sorry for the folks who pay...

This could turn into an epic series...

Lots of nice designs! I'm on the fence, I get to do my designs all the time so I'm deciding which of the others would be the most fun to play with.

There are guys like that in every business. He is a walking ego and probably needs to believe that people worship his skill and want to be just like him. MS or not, he should be ashamed of himself. I would rather be a rank amatuer the rest of my life than be a famous and sought after maker with...

Congrats on your first order!

That's a very cool thing they have going, thanks for posting the pics!
