A bit of Steampunk


For my fellow Steampunks...here's an Airship Pilot First Class ceremonial dirk, meant to be worn with the dress uniform.
O1 blade with a Spanish notch, bone grip. The sheath and frogs are brass-bound ray skin. The larger frog has medallions purchased from Phil and Kayja Foglio (Creators of "Girl Genius" web comic), showing pilot's rank and the sigil of Haus Wolfenbach.

Bravo and Huzzah! Another Foglio Fan!

And a wonderful piece of work it is. I can totally understand using ray skin, with Minmoth leather in such short supply.

A lovely job.

True about the hides. Even worse is trying to use mimmoth tusk for anything but toothpicks. Have you any idea the numbwer of tusks and intricate laminating needed to make a grip? Sheesh!
