alangwhitney@yahoo.com 4 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Just sold this REVWAR Belt dagger I made based on a picture in "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by Newmann. (photo attached) My first double sided blade, it was a challenge to keep the ridgeline straight. I must admit, it started as a kit...see picture...LOL. It was a $1 flea market file, some pipe, a piece of 1017 flat stock and a chunk of curly Maple. I left a few of the file diamonds in the piece to show it's origins and made the sheath with a flap on the front (to hold it in your belt" and a belt loop for regular wear on the back. The blade was aged by two hours in cider vinegar and a scrub back with a greenie. Put it on a blanket at a reenactment event with what I thought was pretty hefty price as I wasn't sure if I wanted to sell it. It was gone in an hour...LOL..That'll learn me!
