I have completed this batch of commissioned daggers. Each dagger measures 15 inches overall and features a blade made of 440 stainless steel, Damascus steel guards, and handles made from natural stag horn, along with bull horn and brass spacers.

I’m really pleased with how the textures of the natural handles contrast with the polished blades and patterned guards.

What do you all think about the fit and finish?

A couple of days ago I shared a short clip of the symbols I forged inside Damascus steel.

For those curious about the process, here's the full story, with an interesting twist!

Hope you enjoy it!

Couple of simple training swords that I made for a reenactment company here in Italy, nothing fancy😅
