1st Dagger w/ Engraving

[backtines]

After a bunch of attempts on making a dagger and trying to get the blade to look balanced , I think this one came out ok. I suggested to the owner to have the bolsters engraved ,and he agreed.. Thank you Doug Sutherland for the beautiful engraving.
Thanks for looking.

Mickey, there is a reason it "looks" BALANCED, it's because it IS BALANCED!

OK kidding aside, it is absolutely beautiful! Seriously classy and seriously sharp!
Great job on this one, some one said that you've up your game another step, and I think he's almost right, I'm thinking
about 5 steps! I hope to make another knife one day....only time will tell!
Thanks for sharing!
