No. This is the fruit of YOUR labor and intended for YOU. Keep it to your personal taste.

And the finished baselard
After sanding, the walnut was oiled with linseed oil. Despite some minor cracks in the wood (wich give some "historical' appearance of the piece), I like the result

I especially like the little accent or brass in the grip.

As always, you have managed to transform a piece of VERY raw steel into a total work of art. One day, I hope to have 1/2 of your skill  .

Thanks, friends!
I think these words

describe in best ways the final result.
Just from the beginning I wanted to achieve such weapon - simple and reliable. Not some fancy piece, but a one that the ordinary man-at-arms might have attached to his belt.
And although I got somewhat over-weigthed blade, the result is exactly what I wanted - a weapon I surely would go into battle with.

As with the quillon dagger, here only the scabbard remained to be done.
Both halves were marked and cut
chiseled and glued. After shapin and sanding the core was ready
The raisers were added and steel chape - made.

And the scabbard after the leather was applied on
The seam (not visible here) is my favorite herring-bone.
I'm not quite pleased with this central ridge of the raisers - I wonder would it be better if I have left only the chevrons as raisers, without the ridge? Anyway - everything is already done.
As suspension, I chose this simple, but very good system
seen on one of the works by JE Sarge - Thanks for the idea, JE!
And finally - some test-fit

After the leather of the scabbard was oiled and waxed and suspension tied, this project is completed.
The back
and the mouth

And finally - closer to the suspension - I really like it much

Some stats (only for the dagger, w/o the scabbard):
* total length - 412 mm
** blade length - 285 mm
*** blade width (at the guard) - 40 mm
**** blade thickness - 6.5 mm at the guard with almost no tapering to about the middle (6.0 mm), after that tapers to 4.5 mm at 20 mm from the tip
***** mass - 420 gr
Although the first impression is about heavy and clumsy weapon, the reality is different.
The dagger is controllable enough to be quite usable as weapon. Well, it's not as swift as the previously made crescent-shaped pommel one http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...highlight= or the quillon-dagger that will follow soon http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...highlight= , but is still able to fulfil its purpose - to deliver quick and powerful stabbing blow. The recovery is adequate for the dimensions of the blade.
