Looking sharp Henrik! The carving is extremely well executed  , and I love those fittings! By the way, did you regrind the blade, or did you get one of the blades that did not have a standard diamond cross section? Looking forward to see the completed scabbard .

Johan, Russ did all the work needed on the blade. I haven't yet the tools or knowledge to work much on blade-shaping etc. But hopefully I'll get more equipment and skills I've ordered a new blade from him, which will be based on some of the early dirk blades, which I'll use for another dirkproject I'm doing.
Cheers,
Henrik
Constant and true.

Very nicely done, Henrik. Whose basket hilt is displayed with your lovely dirk?

Henrik, my friend, you know my feelings about this already, but one again "Beautiful work." The big difference I see in your work is that it was a labor of love my someone who really appreciates the providence and period. Keep up the fine job!! George

Ah, okay, so you did get that nifty blade then...Russ mentioned using it for a Rondel I believe, but it is good that you got it instead  . But ya know, you can create a lot of catastrophes and not-so-catasthropes with an angle grinder  .
Finished product is looking gooood! I really like that scabbard; not overly complicated but very elegant .
