Hello,

 

Here´s a dirk I made for a customer after his specifications.

 

Handle is ebony and 4 1/2´in length, blade is 1060, a tad over 12´long. The sheath is leather covered wood.

I really like that handle. The carving really sets it off. Good job!

“So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.”

The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.

Thank you,

 

Making this one made me think about a dirk for myself in this style using blackwood (grenadil) for the handle.
