A few months back I decided to foray into stock removal art daggers. I was fortunate enough to pickup a 2009 AKI piece created by Curt Erickson and Julie Warenski-Erickson. That piece really set me off and allowed me to develop a very nice relationship with them both. Not only do they make beautiful art they are two of the finest folks I have had the pleasure of getting to know. For me the relationships built are as important as the knives themselves. Anyway as we have progressed in our friendship a new project began and this is the result. In my opinion this is Curt's finest art dagger to date.
Custom Art Dagger is a 10 ½” blade of Devon Thomas stainless steel shark tooth pattern Damascus. Total overall length is 15 ¾ “. Guard and pommel button are 416 Stainless steel. All other fittings are hot blued steel. Handle is a three piece design of golden Agate gemstone and a carved hot blued steel center piece. Sheath is full metal Germen silver with a carved hot blued steel button. The sheath button has an oval imperial topaz gemstone set in the center. The carved pommel button has a +15 point diamond set in the center. This dagger is fully engraved with areas of French Gray, 24ct gold and platinum inlayed throughout the knife.
