Nissan's rondel dagger scabbard.

To match his Satanic Katzbalger. Sorry about the colors- every time I take indoor pics at night the red's come out differently from pic to pic.

This has a unique twist- I dyed all of the cutwork with red dye. Makes it pop.

Again, the colors are not true. None of the piece came out pinky.

I can't figure out why my pics aren't coming up in the thread itself.

Vitus von Atzinger · Post by **Vitus von Atzinger** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 9:09 pm

Last one.

Nice, Vitus. What kind of blade are you using for the cutwork ?

Vitus von Atzinger · Post by **Vitus von Atzinger** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 9:25 pm

It's like a swivel knife blade mounted in a fixed handle....

I am well pleased.

Incidentally, I got the big gold coin in the pommel as mercenary swag.

Bad news- you are going to have to sand down the blade until it fits well. It currently has no tape and fits great. I'm SO SORRY about trashing your text.

Ha! No problem. It is 15 seconds with a gold paint marker.

How did you do those bronze things on the handle?

Nissan Maxima · Post by **Nissan Maxima** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 11:19 pm

Which bronze things? The guard and pommel are milled out of bronze plate. The little flower things are fancy upholstery tacks.

yes, the tacks. It really adds to the whole finish. Do they hold up OK? Did you do something to the rattan? It looks shiny.

They hold up great. And if they fall out you stick in another one. The rattan is planed really smooth.

The biggest dimension cannot exceed 500 pixels. Your's are 30 % too big.

Everything but the helmet that started the whole thing is done. The helmet? If I could get an armourer to actually hit a piece of metal on that project I would be happy.

Looking forward to seeing this in person (probably on the wrong end of it!)

Just dead sexy!!!
