Everyone needs a dagger (I think). Swords & daggers are what first attracted me to knife making, there's just something magical about them. They're a part of every little boy's (or girl's) imagination from pirates to the round table. Below are a few examples of some of my favorites.
| Small Boot Dagger | |
|---|---|
 | Here is a new "Small Boot Dagger" I've designed with an hourglass shaped handle and integral double guard. The piece shown here is approx. 6" overall length (1/2 blade & 1/2 handle) and is forged from 1084 high carbon steel. The blade is differentially quenched and has a fine hand-rubbed finish. The handle scales are Tri-tone Green G-10 done in a "palm swell" style and are secured with 3 stainless steel pins.This style can work equally well with a Kydex or leather sheath with different carry options.

 | These are Loveless-style NYC Daggers that I really enjoy making. The "hunter-style" handle with the double grind "dagger" blade makes for a very handy tool.Since I've had a variety of requests for these in many forms, I've started making them regularlyin three grades... the Basic User model is forged from W1 high carbon steel with a satin (belt) finish and Micarta or G-10 handle scales, bolts and a lanyard liner. Next is what I call my Standard model. This is forged from W2 high carbon steel with a hand rubbed/etched finish with premium wood handles and organic bolsters.

The pieces shown have an overall length of 9 1/2" and a 4 1/4" (double) cutting edge.
