    White Handled Dirk

    Finished this one today and wanted to show it off. The handle is carved antler with steel pommel and spacers. Plan to do a black sheath for it. Thanks for looking

    Wonderful! Very different and intriguing look. Your work always has
    such a sturdy and effective look not seen everywhere. What are the
    dimensions?

    Proofreading, I think I mean that many available blades have a costumey
    look. Yours always seem like something our forebears would have carried,
    ready to put to work.

    Fully Dressed

    Thank you all for your kind remarks. The sheath is made and now all I have to do is do a final polish and sharpen the blade. This was a fun blade to make. Thanks again.

    Question

    Do you forge the blades yourself?
    Just curious...
