Here’s a question for you fellas that know the ins and outs of the custom cutlery world.
If you wanted a big dagger made to (or around) the following specifications, who would you have make it?
15” overall length
10” long 3” wide at base Carbon steel spearpoint blade, flat ground and differentially tempered – a visible temper line would be a plus, but not necessary.
4” slightly curved steel quillon and flat based steel pommel
Handle material natural colored canvas micarta
What I am looking for is a strong, no frills cut and thrust dagger that is an improvement on the Cold Steel Tai Pan design. I don’t care for much ostentation, but I would like the lines to be pleasing to the eye.
So what say you?
