    The mammoth tusk. Wow. When I was like 8 my dad and I were on the Tanana River in Alaska going for our moose for the year.
    We got out and investigated some tracks on the river bank, went in a little further and there was a small depression where the river when it was higher had cleared out a lot of debris, dirt etc.
    I found- you guessed it. Mammoth tusk abd bone!

  • @oculusangelicus8978
    @oculusangelicus8978 2 года назад +1

    Fabulous work! I can say, if it were in a contest and if everyone were asked after the fact which blade would have been the most intimidating blade if it were pulled on them in a dark alley, I'm positive that Yours would win hands down! Not only would it be the shape of the blade but also the length! that is one long dagger, and a seriously intimidating one at that! The Mammoth Ivory handle is beautiful and I'm sure you'll be glad to have that work of art hanging on display in your home! The dying of the Curly maple I think was a mistake, the handle of the dagger is beautifully white and having a curly maple sheath would have only complimented the handle, but either way, the wood sheath is fantastic as well, and the way you made the belt loop for it and attached it to the sheath is beautiful as well. Good luck on the challenge!

    • @Aleeknives
      @Aleeknives  2 года назад

      Thank you! I agree 100% about the maple and that was my original intention but when I oiled it it turned yellow. I sanded it back and tried to use shellac and it turned yellow, I sanded it back and tried lacquer and it also turned yellow. It just would stay the right color and I felt that the black was better than the yellow

    Drop dead gorgeous dagger! Maybe should've chosen different words, but that's what came to mind first. This challenge is going to be a challenge for we the voters! It is for me at least.. EVERYONE is bringing their A game to this bout for the best dagger title. Still have 12-13 more to watch!

    Well, I’ve watched most of the builds (I must say that the std is VERY high) but I think that this is my favourite. Superb piece sir.

    Beautiful work. I wondered if an ashe scabbard wouldn't have matched the fossil tusk with the dark leather trim setting ot off. Too bad I didn't get to watch this before the voting but you've earned a sub.

      Thanks man! I 100% agree with you on the lighter wood! This one started out as white curly maple but it kept turning yellow on me so I dyed it black. Holly would have been another good choice
