Here is a look at my newest creation, "Dark Claw". It is not yet posted on my website as I am still designing a sheath.
The Blade is an altered Windlass Steelcrafts Blade made from 1085 high carbon steel that I hand etched and blued. The guard I created from mild steel as I did the pommel cap. The handle is two pieces of african blackwood seperated by a brass spacer atop a brass riser. The threaded pommel nut is fashioned from brass, but only holds down the pommel cap. There is a hidden nut beneath the pommel cap which is threaded onto the tang to secure the guard and handle, completing the dagger's through tang, take down design.
SPECS:
Blade Length 12 in
Overall Length 17 5/8 in
Handgrip Length 4 3/8 in
Widest point of Blade 1 3/8
Guard Width 4 3/8 in
Weight 16.4 oz
Balance Point is at the guard
Thanks for looking. I appreciate any feedback,
