One of my as yet unfinished projects. This one inspired by the Edward III dagger which was discussed recently. The blade is one half of a leaf spring from a Model T Ford. The grip is again Ironbark. There will eventually be a steel plate at the pommel end, however I'm not sure how to finish it off. I don't think the die I have will stand up to threading this steel and I'm wary of peening the end for fear of cracking the grip. I may try something unusual which might horrify purists... we'll see.

Thank's Chad, I stand corrected.
That's what you get for skimming through the posts just looking at the pictures. Nick. |

Nice work. I made a dagger from a leaf spring once myself. I was asked this weekend if I would every make another one, and my reponse was, "not without a power hammer." These kinds of projects take a lot of patience, and that material fights back pretty good. |
