A while back i had posted pictures of a spear head i had made from a piece of 1095 Carbon steel that was originally a sword for a customer. During heat treat the sword cracked about 9 inches up from the base of the hilt and was then profiled into a spear head after being cut off. Forumite Merrick approached me and asked if the spear head could possibly be made into a dagger which i assured him it could. Merrick gave me free artistic liberty to do whatever i wanted on the design, and gave feedback and input of his own along the way. Here's what we came up with... Fenrir's Fang... While the Dagger was given an obvious norse/viking look/theme to it, this particular blade shape to my knowledge is purely a fantasy design. It kind of resembles a Roman Pugio, but still has its differences. The geometry is Hexagonal and both edges are fully sharpened down to the Flared shoulders. The Dagger is made with a full tang and hot peened Brass pommel, with a solid Brass guard. The grip is a wood core wrapped in Oxblood Kangaroo lace. The specs are as follows.... Blade Length: 8" Grip Length: 5" Overall Length: 13.25" Blade width: 2 1/8" Blade width at Shoulder: 3" Thickness at shoulder: .175" Thickness at tip: .153"

If I'm reading the runes right, one side says "ulfur." I can guess what that means. The other side looks like it says "snmana"? Is that right? What does that mean?

This one is gonna be as fun to play with as it was to help create. It will have a wooden sheath made out of Yellow Heart. With Fenrir carved in runes.
