 |

I've finally finished this Rondel dagger which has been sitting around my workbench half finished for a while now. The blade was beaten and ground from a piece of rebar I found on the path in front of our house. The grip is Ironbark.
Cheers.
Nick.

Well done! I love the before and after photos  Even rebar can become beautiful.

Amazing what you can start with and end up with.
Nicely done.

Wow! Very nice. I like that the rebar is spiraled and the grip is too, it's kind of funny.....
