Lathe Daggerby ~sstheblacksmith

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

I had mentioned I was learning to use a lathe. I decided to make a dagger and turn the handle from brass/bronze and here it is. It certainly isn't precision or anything, just turned by eye having a bit of fun on the lathe. The blade is 5160, with a chiseled in fuller, 1/2 double edge, fileworked spine. I turned the handle and pommel, but made the guard the old fashioned way. I was going to make the pommel a nut and thread it on but ended up making it a peened assembly. I ground all the cutters myself for all the different cuts, but mainly used a thin straight cut and a right cut. Also tried knurling the front and end of the handle.

And also, A VIDEO!
