Prom Dagger

I finished this dagger the night of my daughters prom, and so it became known as the Prom Dagger because of that and the fact that it went so well with my daughters dress.  This is probably the most 'delicate' blade I've made.

The blade is 9 1/2" long and made from W1.  Fittings are brass and the handle & sheath are made from cocobolo.

The fitting came out ok.  One of the more interesting and challenging parts of being a knife maker is that you really have to master a number of skill areas.  In the case of fitting like this you are doing the work that used to be done by jewelers.  I've got a long way to go when it comes to being a jeweler...
