This project has been riding me for the last few months, but this years Knifedogs Choice Awards got me all fired up... so I decided to put on my big-boy pants and beat it into submission. I'm calling it a Narwhal Spike. I borrowed the "Narwhal" part from Adam DesRosiers' Narwhal Fighter, as it was an inspirational piece for me. Given the aggressive tip on this blade, the "Spike" part seems self-evident.
I'd like to give a big shout-out to Steve Culver for his BF Quillon Dagger WIP... page 7 was especially helpful with it's detail of the twisted wire work.
Some Stats:
Length: 15-3/8"
Blade: 9-1/16", 0.175" thick at the habaki with a zero-ground clip (sharp)
Weight: 242g/8.52oz (0.53lbs)
Steel: 1095
Fittings: 416 Stainless Steel
Handle: Ringed Gidgee with Stainless Wire
Sheath: Because I had to
Here's a short video... with a little PNW rain sprinkling the blade.

Thanks for looking.
