Hello All!

Here are the pictures with the "new" old stag handle. I think it turned out very good. The handle is about 4" with the brass furele included and about 9" overall. It required very little fitting. The handle was already made, I'm guessing it probaly came off of a old carving knife or something. I think the handle is about the same age as the dagger and has light patination and lots of small nicks and scrathes which I think add to the piece. The really white band above the brass is where the sanding I did went too far up. All Comments welcome!

Mark...

Note: In the last picture the sharp part of the blade is facing toward the flags so the knife actually upside down. The book is "Flags of the World" by DK publishings.
