Swagger

Here's a dagger/short sword I built for another forum's yearly build-off. Finished it yesterday and got some decent pictures today. I was allotted 5 days to complete and post final pictures of a fixed blade knife. I competed against a great knife maker from Germany and was great fun. If I win the voting this week, my knife will advance to the finals which is to take place at Blade, where people can vote for there favorites.

The knife is a 20" take down dagger, with 13.5" random pattern 1095/15n20 damascus blade. The guard, pommel, and tang are a blued matte finish. The handle is elephant ivory core, the densest part of the tusk and very white.

There was a little debate as to what this knife would be categorized as, and as a result, we have decided it's to be placed in the swagger category.
Either way, it's the biggest damn thing I've ever built.
Thanks for lookin'!!!
