Dagger done!

[Gliden07]

Well first Dagger in the books! Had a lot of fun with this and as with anything new learned alot along the way. Loosely patterned after a Randall Model 24 its 1084 with Macecraft Micarta scales and Brass hardware. Just needs to be sharpened and sent to new owner.

Nice job. What is the finish?

 

[Sean Jones]

Very nice. I have the same question as opaul. Looks like it's been stone washed and then?

Nice job. What is the finish?

Yes it is stone washed. I use a large tumbler with a couple pounds of ceramic triangles, warm water, couple drops of dish soap and a product called Lemi-Shine, its basically a Citric Acid based household cleaner (I use the same concoction to clean my brass for reloading but with SS pins). I only fill the water about 1/3 or so of the way to get a good tumbling action. Run it about an hour and check it. You have to rinse blade with soap and water to get residue off similar to Damascus. Then if I'm happy with finish I move on if not back into tumbler! It was an experiment 2 plus years ago. Worked well so I use it for most of my EDC's and Tactical stuff to cut down on maintenance.

Nice! That micarta looks good on it.

IMO Macecraft makes the BEST MICARTA! Not as nice as the wood I've gotten from you though!!
