========================================
Last minutes work. it takes 3 days from Start to finish (11th-14th April). I wish I get more time on finishing and shape of the handle. Too busy lately. It's been over 5 months since my last knife making videos.
Mostly stock-removal. Just a few work on forging. it is difficult to do long forging because still sufering from "trigger finger" on both hand.
========================================
Edge Material : Truck Leaf Spring.
Edge Length : 11.7inch.
Edge Thickness : 11mm
Overall Weight : 495gram

[@byronkennedy7912]

Encik ... you simply never fail to impress with your designs and skills in metal and wood ... uh ... sculpting with the simplest of hand tools. Some would also consider your materials to be ... scrap. You take and make them into functional works of art. Good luck ... and thanks for the share.

Thanks Bro. 😄

Sweet dagger. Very sci-fi style. I tried to do something out of the ordinary as well with my viewer build. But i went more of an anime route which is basically the same thing. I really appreciate out of the ordinary builds. Great job.

[@EncikAlee]

Thanks Bro 😄👍

[@kaynan3754]

too stylised imo. some usseless constructive decisions, like those spikes, that later was bent. whats the point in them at all. also cut in the blade tip may add some looks, but whats the point in it.
most of forging authors forgetting that sword or knife, even fantasy stylised are still instruments meant to be used. and though may be decorated its ot to the point of adding useless elemts and more weight to the blade.

[@EncikAlee]

Thanks for compliment reply. I dont have much time to sketch plan for this dagger. Just flow build with what come in mind. Those spikes resemble pattern from southeast asia where i came from. Believe me, those "maybe useless" point of this dagger does more damage on stabbing 😂😁

[@EncikAlee]

Like i said. This is last minutes project. I Wish i got more time on finishing and handle shape. Plus, cannot do much forging now, 3 of my fingger still suffering "Trigger finger" 😭
