These are my two favorite designs that i've done in a long, long while. While they weren't completely my doing (i had a little help from a friend working out some concept ideas), I still love them. I pictured them as fantasy companion daggers. One good and one evil. The sheath on the first page actually goes with the second dagger. The funny thing, is that the second dagger was made to match the sheath on the first page, not the other way around. Enjoy. ;D
For this one i picture a mirror polished blade, with the hilt and pommel blackened and the upraised areas mirror polished; the vines on the blade would be etched. For the grip i picture a medium brown shiny leather wrap.
For this darkish type dagger, i picture the whole thing unpolished, almost as if it had never been polished. I'm kind of getting into a story about it now , but i picture it being a dagger that has been around for a long, long time; never being wiped off after every kill. Something that (not sure if any of you know him from R.A. Salvatore's writing) Artemis Entreri would seek out to use, or maybe something Jarlaxle or one of the other Drow would carry. Hilt and pommel/handguard are blackened with areas almost ground off. The design on the blade is actually almost a metal sleeve that the blade was put into and fused to. So the darkened areas on the blade stand our about a millimeter. The grip has the tang showing on the front and back with ebony scales riveted on with dark metal rivets.
I plan on making at least the first one, once i get some money for steel and maybe an angle grinder. I can't wait for the next design contest, maybe i can enter these as a pair or something.
Edit: Please give me credit if you use these, they are by far my favorite designs. (not sure if i can exactly say copyright, but you get the idea)
