Looking Sharp

Sometimes it’s all about the aesthetic.

I’ve made a lot of rough and hardy looking blades lately

So this time I wanted to make something elegant, and attractive.

This blade was made from high-carbon steel,

and involved a lot of careful grinding.

I made the handle from a piece of Cherry I’ve held onto for over a decade

and polished copper pins brought it all together.

In more ways than one, this dagger turned out pretty sharp.
