OAL - 238mm (~9.3").

Blade 124x22x4.5mm (~4.9"x0.9''x0.18'') flat grind with secondary bevel.

Blade finish - P800.

Handle – birch bark, African blackwood and bronze.

Leather sheath with wooden inlay .

Weight with/without sheath – 98/143 gr.

Nice looking dagger.. I like the combination of the handle materials. Did you turn the handle on a wood lathe?

 

[Todor Hristov]

Thanks , no I didn't use lathe. First I shaped the blackwood parts with drill and sanding and then after I stacked the bark I grinded it by hand .
