Flint River Dagger (finished pictures)
« on: December 04, 2009, 03:13:00 am »
I posted this blade the other day and thought I'd show some pictures of the finished knife.
The handle is maple, wrapped with black waxed linen.  Set in the end of the handle, is a marble I also made from flint river.  Just to add a little flash, I wrapped a band of silver wire around each end.
  This is going out as my gift for the Christmas trade this year.  The recipient doesn't know about it, but I hope he likes it.  I'll make a stand for it before I ship it out.

Jesse, that really is very nice. The marble really sets it off. By the way, I think I'm losing my marbles so you might send me a few if you have any extra.
