My son Mike came up and spent the past week with me. It was the best birthday present any dad could ask for!! When he got here, he told me he wanted to build a damascus Dagger. Now you have to understand that he is a 21 year old who has never built a knife before. I tried to explain to him that a dagger was probably not a good choice for a first knife. But, did I mention he is 21?? Oh ya, and really stubborn. So, needless to say, he began building damascus for his dagger. Then he designed what he wanted to look like. That was the moment I knew there was no way he could pull this thing off. It was not only a dagger. But, a wild fantasy art dagger. I tried to explain that I would help him as much as I could, but, this was even a bit out of my league.
He spent about 6-8 hours a day for 6 days working on his dagger. And I am amazed at how awesome it turned out.
This just goes to prove that with a little help and direction from dad. And, a positive attitude anything is possible..
Not Bad for a first knife!!!
Dad is proud!!!
Specs are 16" over all length with a 9 1/2" blade of canned W-1,1080,1095 and pure nickel Damascus. The guard and butt cap are mild steel, and the handle is ebony.
Thanks for looking.
