Here is just some of my work's. I usually recycle steel, like spring steel, L6 or 52100 bearing steel. For tang, i usually use wood or horn. Sheath are made of leather and kydex. The whole process is made by me.

Thank you very much! I'm trying to be original and offer something different from what we're used to|quoted:

A departure from previous designs, by appearance, but also by unusual material.

Forged from a spiral spring, the intention was to get something different from my previous work and I'm quite pleased with what i've seen.

But that's not the end of it.

The handle tree is platana which under daylight gives the impression of such skin...

It will very likely remain as an exhibition copy

Some things are priceless to me, too.

Completed after 10 days of work.

The special dedication was on almost immaculate details.

A multitude of different solutions, processing and making, from walnut wooden holster, on the inside and outer side coated with leather, glued and sewn, copper finish at the top of the flow, Canadian walnut at the junction at the cutting edge entrance, with a belt bracket that can be removed, channel processing in the middle of the blade, handle...

Made of 5160 steel, a handle combined with olives and leather, and for a holster I've already said.

Although it took a long time to build it, I hope the new owner will appreciate it and proudly show it...

18/2020

End black edition dagger.

Made of 5160 steel.

Holster, walnut, leather

He's not available...

The original idea was the M57 military bayonet, but with the agreement with the client, some modifications were made that are visible in the current state.

The whole project was done over and over again, without a pattern or blueprint, except for the painting.

The blade is rearranged, shortened, the handle is performed differently, the end of the handle, to the holster.
