Serpentine Dagger

[Brett Schaller]

Here's a pic of the serpentine dagger I finished recently. Blade is CPM154, mirror polished. Handle is dyed box elder burl, fluted and with sterling silver twisted wire wrap. Guard and pommel are nickel silver. This was my first fluted and wire wrapped handle.

That's an outstanding piece of work. Love the fluting and enlay.

I love daggers, but to make a serpentine dagger is beyond impressive - great job!

Dang that's cool.

My brain hurts thinking about grinding that piece. Well done!

Thanks!

Hollow ground on a 3" wheel, using just the edge of the wheel. I now have a bunch of belts that are worn out on the edge, but fresh in the middle.
