gothic dagger

Hellize,
Are you familiar with Monty Python and the Holy Grail? A wonderful portrayal of medieval life

Due to language, I won't post the vid here, but go look at Youtube and search for "Monty Python-Bring out your dead!" [h=1][/h]

Sure I am! I consider their movies as classics!

Every time I go to France, I can smell the difference.

Do I win the blade? Nice work, has some theatre. Would work on Wild Boar too.

Hmm... never been to France. So you suggest I could find the country solely by odor?
Sorry, there is nothing to win here...

Nice dagger though I prefer my Scottish Dirk myself. What would I miss?

Well not penicillin for one, I am allergic to it. I could manage without electricity, but without the internet, well I would miss that.

Yeah, those are nice little fellows too!
Well, I am allergic to all kinds of grass, so I would have to travel back till the Jurassic era, to get rid of those

Back on the dagger, how did you create the fuller down the blade? Also, what were all the materials. Clearly leather for the grip, but what did you use for the blade and guard? Did you go fully old school with assembly, or did you use some epoxy. I remember seeing a video on neotribal metal work, and they were using mixtures of pitch and dry deer droppings for "glue". Very ingenious, although I think I would struggle not to reach for the modern two-part adhesive.

Really sorry you have a grass allergy. Major bummer.

Yeah, it sure is! I spend the whole summer munching claritine
The blade is 5160, the metal accessories are iron. The handle is made of leather disks laced onto the dagger's tang and also glued together, as you suspected.
The fuller is ground with my angle grinder.
All in all I have cheated quite a lot

As sad as it is, I believe there were no motorcycles back than but I am pretty sure, you could own a horse or a donkey at least. That would be the next best thing

Prefer over a donkey I mean, of course. Not over a woman.
Just clarifying.

LOL! You got me for a moment.

Hard to say when you really think about it. I don't want to mention any food per se because they're all older than that (although some of the recipes might be more modern; like fried chicken)

or taco!

or taco!

Tacos with a soft shell have been around sat least a millennia. Soft tortillas were both a food and the eating utensil of the natives (just hold the tortilla and scoop up whatever other food with it) Although it obviously wasn't beef until the Spaniards arrived.
