Damast dagger #10




This is one of my far best knives ever, it's a damascus dagger! I've wanted it for really long time and not so long ago, there was an opportunity!

(Beside, I'm planing on making "best of" of my knives as soon as I finish uploading them)

So, this is it! This is my damascus steel dagger! The blade itself is long 157 millimeters, wide 35 millimeters and 5 millimeters thick.

It's very symetrical, very precise made. Between the sharp part and the handle, on both sides knife has cutted grooves, which can give support for thumb(if holding that way).

Above, there is part from damascus steel, which has several grooves and is attached to blade with 5 damascus steel pins.

Even further above, there is wooden part(walnut, ofc.), which fits very accurate to upper damascus part. Even in radius like that!

Well, the wooden part is also attached to blade, just this time with 6 brass pins.

Knife sheat is made from 4 millimeters thick leather, it's color is something ebtween bordoux red and brown color, it is very well stiched together, has on top strap to hold knife in and loop for belt.

The knife is massive, it's a really good knife! And sharp too!
