Two small daggers for sale
Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2013 5:17 am
Getting around to posting these, finally.
Two small arm daggers.
Both are fairly thick steel for their size, so they are pretty solid.
Edges are present, but while sharp enough to cut string or other very minor work, I do not consider them very sharp.
(My standards may be a bit biased...Its not "sharp" to me until I can shave hairs off of my arm with it.)
I can't really get a truly sharp edge on a thick diamond cross section blade, so they are as sharp as it is practical to make them.
Both are carbon steel and rough mirror polished.
Both have brass fittings.
Neither comes with a sheath, though one can be put together for another $20 for your choice.
(Add a week to delivery time for the leather to dry before I can ship it.)
Payment by paypal.
Shipping is an additional $9 to US addresses.
The antler dagger cannot be shipped overseas due to quarantine or customs issues.
You may combine shipping if you choose to buy both together.
Please refer to them as "red dagger" or "antler dagger" so I can more easily tell which you want.
First one is a bit over 4 1/2 inches in the blade.
a bit over 8 inches overall.
The grip is actually some of my small stock of Brazilian rosewood- a tree now on the endangered species list, so no longer sold commercially. (Perfectly legal to buy or sell pieces that existed before the ban...I originally bought the piece I made this from out of woodworker's supply inc.)
$40 plus shipping.
Second one is a small dagger with whitetail deer antler grip.
4 1/2 inch blade, a bit under 8 inches total length.
The only piece of antler I have come across in years small enough and with enough shape and figure to make a good sleeve dagger grip.
The grip is slightly canted to one side- the natural shape of the antler, which also makes it lie very flat on the arm.
$50 plus shipping.
This is not an auction-
They are up for sale until sold.
Just in time for Pennsic.
Thanks.
