18th c. Euro Belt Dagger

Inspired, but not directly copied, by #18.K in Neumanns "SWORDS and BLADES of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION". 1750-1790. 8"x 1 1/4" blade of 01 steel, with a through tang peened over an iron washer, hand filed elk leg bone grip with a bone file cut butt cap. Iron guard, sterling silver ferrule with a hand engraved flower on four sides. All very lightly aged. Hope you enjoy a look.

Nicely Done. I like the guard and ferrule.

What a great looking knife, nice clean lines, and the ageing on the handle looks very natural. I am a huge fan of historical pieces and have wanted to try one for quite a while but the double edge has always been a point of concern.
