Ti alloy Yakut dagger

[Mecha]

Hello all,

Here is a little dagger made for a retired surgeon, who likes to keep a knife in her purse, just in case. It's loosely inspired by the Yakut knife, having a hammered hollow on the flat side, with a convex other side. The knife is thin, and tapers to a needle point.

The blade is heat-treated BT/VT23 titanium alloy, with a handguard of ti 6-2-4-2. The handle's over-wrap is deerskin, and the slip sheath is made to be flung off of the blade easily with a flick of the wrist!

Some knives you just wanna pick up...
to get a feel from them, and to Learn something?

I bet this knife would satisfy long fondling secessions.
Awesome piece.

Thanks Insipid, JB, Crag. A lot of people liked this one! I swear it looked better in person than in the photos, which make the finish look so rough. The main thing about it was to make sure it was an effective stabber. It worked out pretty well, as anytime the tip touched me, it caught skin and guided itself straight in, easily. Got bit by it three times, which I think is a new record. I was kind of glad to see it go before another incident occurred.
