Good call Sean!
I wasn't able to find a decent knife at the local thrift shops that had the bolster on it. Seeing as I really wanted to capture that for the 'periodness' of the piece, I asked Tod's Stuff, and a week and a half later it was at my door. I'm keeping my eye open though, as I would love to try out a late style
ballock dagger for my kits as well. My best friend is enamoured with the early 15th C, and I would love to suprise him with a good looking rondel too.
Ahhh too many projects! :)
Oh, and the kit came with:
Blade, wood for the scales, rivet stock, leather for a sheath, and needle w/ thread for sewing the sheath. Aaron and I just had to provide the epoxy for the scales and tools to get it shaped and polished.
