    Hi Guys, it has been a while since I have been on or posted. Life gets in the way sometimes.


    These are the first push daggers I have ever made. I did these for one of my friends. He wanted
    these for his office and employees.


    We wanted all hardwoods and each one different. These are fully functional but will mostly
    be displayed.


    Front row: Curly Koa and Stabilized Satinwood on raindrop Damascus.
    Back row: African Blackwood, Stabilized Curly Walnut, Honduran Teak, and Ebony Gaboon
    O-1 Steel Rc 61 (heat treat done by ATalley)

    Stands are Walnut from Indiana and placard inlay

    Thanks guys !!! That was fun to build. I will probably make more now that I have the concept.
    Super-T, yes. I made the pins and also did all the stabilizing of the woods. I also helped in
    the heat treatment of the steels.

    Thank you for all the kind comments !!

    Thank you for the kind words.

    For you guys that own or carry these, we are thinking about making sheaths for them.
    My question is: Is it better to make a horizontal or vertical belt carry?
    Next: A couple want to wear them on their shoulder gun holsters around far front chest area,
    good idea or not.

    Most of these will be pressure fitting sheaths, good or strapped better?

    Teach me with your personal opinions.
    Thanks,
    Troy

    Grip down, hanging from a neck lanyard would work well.

    Very nice knives. The Damascus blades are great looking.
    If I were to carry, I would want a vertical carry sheath to wear near the back pocket.
