Sprucing up my dagger

A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

Sprucing up my dagger

Post by theowl »

I've been carrying this dagger for many years (I think I got it in '04?) It's always been a favorite of mine, but I've never been a huge fan of the awkward angular handle that came on it. I decided to use my quarantine time to finish redoing the handle.

This is my first attempt at a wire wrap, and I am very pleased with how it turned out. True to form, I did not get a picture of the original handle. Imagine a flattened out, hollow ground pentagon. It wasn't comfortable.

It's an old Windlass dagger. It was intended to loosely pair with their ranger sword, their scabbards are nearly identical. It's an awesome dagger. The blade takes an insane edge, and it's much more comfortable now.

I've looked everywhere online for a picture of it, but I can't find it.
