Here is another dagger using the compound grip technique I've been working on. This one is considerably bigger: 8 1/2 inch blade, 13 1/2 inch over all. Forged from W-1. The sheath is made from two pieces, a traditional molded pouch style and an embossed holster to allow the dagger to hang at a 45 degree angle. This was customary to allow the fighter to draw the dagger with the left hand when using a sword in the right. Although this is not a typical "main gauche", it is conceivable that it would have been carried in this manner. Hope you like it...
