That's right. Sometime back in the good ole days Tony made a dagger out of damascus. A one of a kind relic from the "Trailer Shop" days.

Its Overall length is 10 1/8", Blade Length is 5 3/4", Blade Width 7/16", and Blade Thickness is 5/32".

The guard is made from the same piece of damascus the blade was made from and is 1/8"x3/8"x3 3/8".

The handle is solid MOP and comes from the joint area of the shell. It is full of "fire"....a gorgeous piece of pearl.

Kerry, I got the opportunity to see this knife up close
just finished a desk sheath for it, very elegant dagger!

Here are some shots of the knife and the desk sheath, as
most know, I don't take on fixed blade sheaths, but the
desk style I don't mind as much, since the handle isn't
in the sheath, I added a layer of leather beneath the top
layer, so the knife slides in against that and offers some
resistance from being pulled out.







And it's heading home tomorrow, barring this very nasty
snow storm we are having right now, barely made it home
also barely made it to work! MUCH snow and blowing winds!

Thanks Randall, as to pictures, that has always been a passion of mine
only in the past year or so I've made the jump to digital
took a while, but glad I did, no looking back!

I use a Canon EOS 20D, this was a quick setup, as it was late
so not much time to devote, would have liked to better show
that pearl off but ran out of time
