Just finished this custom double edge dagger. Surrounded by four symmetric hollow ground bevels, a prominent central ridge sticks through the etched feather damascus. A damascus cross gaurd sets the transition into the G10 & acrylic framed handle. A small pommel places the balance directly at the gaurd.

This really challenged me to think outside of the knives I normally make, and it was so worth it.
