Oh boy this is scary! :') Insane and awesome build man. Huge like! People complain about having to match four bevels in dagger and you make one with eight! Ahah! Congrats, looks sick!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks a ton for those awesome words! It was a stressful and rewarding experience for sure.

[@RedBeardOps]

Way to think outside the box man... Looks like a bear of a piece to make!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks James! It was a crazy experience for sure.

That dagger is so sweet. It never crossed my mind to do a double dagger weapon when designing mine. That thing is awesome!

Well, you definitely brought the "fantasy" to fantasy dagger challenge. That's a good thing. It was something I was worried about with my own viewer entry. Great job!

[@Robpearceknives]

Looking forward to seeing it Erick!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Erick, it's funny how you say: "Ya stay safe" at the end of the video holding a dagger that can hurt you in any moment :P.. I think this is the most original design on this competition- Nicely done and I like this out of the box idea very much!

Really like this "fantasy" dagger builds and that's a very cool one! This reminds of that cursed "backbiter" dagger in D&D that has a percentage chance of damaging the wielder (and it sticks permanently to your hand of course). You seem to have Darth Maul skill with it though! Either way it looks amazing - came out really well - and great video! 👍

Why did you make the blades different lengths?

That's for the forward weighted balance. I wanted it to move away from the body while swinging it. Less of a chance to stab yourself... for the most part 😅

[@oculusangelicus8978]

A work of art my friend, I particularly like the "rough hewn" look with the additional ball and cross peening you worked into the knife. I have just one question, what was thw purpose of the fuller in the middle of the handle for? just some weight saving? or did you have another idea in mind that you decided not to do? Great work, I am seriously considering voting for your project, but I still have a few other daggers to watch and see how they work on them, but yours is definitely up there!

[@theriversexperience9383]

The fuller in the handle area was for weight saving. Also, I drilled through that section as well as fullered the scales. This creates an area where the epoxy can fill the cavity creating an amazing bond between the two scales. Thanks for watching!

[@mtnbkr8480]

That's a good scratch on his forearm. Did he almost cut his arm off ? 😳

A double edged sword with a handle in the middle? A traditional dagger is between 5 and 12 inches long. It would be hard to conceal your sword and use it as a dagger was designed for without slashing your own arms. Nice pattern and good luck.
