I Warned Ya'All I be back!!

Howdy!!

I told ya I would return and here I am!! Below is something I took on for a client..a very weird one..made out of 1/2 Meteoric iron (refined with wrought iron and 120 pt C W-2 to make it useable) and 1095.. I call it a "Two Handed Broad Dagger" cause it is a monster of a dagger and not quite a short sword...

18" blade, forged phosphor bronze mounts and a fluted buffalo horn grip..OAL: 24 1/4" or so... The sad part is the guy renegged and now I am stuck with this beast..So up on my web site it goes here presently.. Hope these pics come out OK

That's his loss. Someone is going to be very happy with that sword/dagger (swagger?)
