Looks good with the scales....the infinity sheath looks good too!

A leather flap on my dagger sheath would be a good idea....

Hi Leadhead,

I could probably do somthing about that. I didn't have that problem when I wore the new style around, although I prefer to wear mine slightly toward my back. A mild re-grind at the pommel should fix that. How is it doing for you otherwise? Give me a ring. http://www.AcreMetalworks.com

Cheers,
Fuad

Fuad, I was thinking the same thing...

For me the dagger was something that I needed to get out of my system....I don't have much use for this knife but I enjoy it as a collector!
I actually have not worn this knife much but I have used my drop point auk a fair bit and I do notice from time to time when sitting down I have caught the sheath on the arm of a chair and it has pushed up in a similar fashion to the picture above.....the auk drop point does not have the point on the pommel however.
I really like the simple sheath for the Auk's and the way they hang low on the belt!
I have noticed looking at different pictures of your auk's that the guard profile tends to vary a bit in both depth and angle....I guess this is the nature of hand shaping the blades.
I will send you an email to discuss a re grind...
Thanks, Charley

I like the tip shape on this one!
The portal in the scale looks good too..
What type of fastners have you used for the scales?

Hi All,

The Fasteners are stainless 6-32 button head allen screws. I think I'll do more Durendals with scales.

Cheers,
Fuad
