A Dirk
Here is a 13" dirk I'm building utilizing some fancy bolsters from a different knife. It still needs some fine tuning but it should be done today

Re: A Dirk
Very nice. How much of this knife is re-used versus custom made? That blade sure
looks like your work. I like it.

Re: A Dirk
all fatory parts. I made the button, the bolsters were modified to fit from another knife . that makes the project sound simple but it was a very time consuming project. took as long as if i had made it from scratch almost.
