Now that's a knife. What a beast. Nice fit and finish too. Thanks for sharing.

That's a beautiful piece of work. Love the shapes involved in that dagger. Needed to zoom in to appreciate all the little details filed in around the head. Thanks for sharing.

That's a nice tidy looking package. Well done and thanks for sharing.

These came out great. Nice work. I'm sure they'll be treasured. Cheers for sharing.

This is a real cool looking t.hawk. Thanks for sharing.

So much awesomeness. Thanks for sharing.

Loving those detailed photos. Thanks for taking the time to take them.

That's a sweet looking little knife. Love the carving on the handle. The blade came out nice with that wrought spine. Cheers for sharing it with us.

That looks great. I like the shape of the revised handle and the curves to the guard are spot on to the eye. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one. Came out great. Thanks for sharing.

You've been busy my friend... great looking work as per usual.

Thanks Jennifer, at handle junction was 3mm tappering from there. If I were to make it again or something similar I would make it thinner. It's sharp but doesn't slice as nice as I'd want it too. Customer was happy though and that's important.

That came out beautiful. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing with us.

That looks good Brian.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks @Brian Doughertymy mate was stoked.

@Rob ToneguzzoHey mate, What sized stock did you start out with for this job if you don't mind me asking? I've seen some YouTube vids and some makers seem to use a very tiny piece of stock. Also, if you don't mind what thicknesses did you end up with. I assume somewhere around 3mm or so by 18-22 ish for the blade height? And as for the handle I assume the tang was somewhere in the region of 125mm or so long? Just trying to get a feel for it is all... I also visited the PUUKKO thread about forging one so have a general idea about how to go about it. Thanks in advance mate.

Hey @Paul Carter, your welcome. If you selling them the onvisouly people like them so go nuts. As for the chip out; If you can get over sized wood a small chip out with be removed with grinding/shaping, or as you suggested having it flat against another piece of wood works fine also.

Nice one Gary. Finished out really nice. Thanks for sharing.

This looks awesome, it came out real well. Thanks for sharing.

That's a cracking looking piece. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good Gary.

Hi @Paul Carter, As Charles said there is a lot going on. Alot of it is very good in execution but not my style. Sometimes we have all these ideas that we want make but this piece feels like you've tried to put all of them all into one knife. I can appreciate the amount of time spent on this project, so thanks for sharing.

Your both very kind, Thanks alot for the complements. Definitely always learning but happy with this result.

Thanks Rob. Appreciate it. Going to have a crack at a Puukko now... seen a good one somewhere recently and have been inspired ...
