another dirk

[Thomas]

Thanks, all
Yes, the whole dirk is handmade (handforged and carved).
Oh, There´s one modern tool used- a die for fitting the tang nut.
Forgive me- I didn´t tell the whole truth
It´s the first time I did use such a bright wood, but as the historic pattern has a handle from walrus ivory, I thought , maple might be the right stuff for it.
Cheers
Thomas
