    Bronze dagger with salmon scabbard

    Aye Neil has already peen hardened the edges on it, I just need to file/sand it to a proper edge. It's a beautiful wee blade and I'm sure it will cut, but it's definitely a thruster first and foremost Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

    Bronze dagger with salmon scabbard

    Thanks ;) I've not put a finished edge on it yet, but from the feel of it and my experience with bronze I doubt it will be much of a tool. It's definitely a thrusting weapon. I'll definitely be testing it when I get round to sharpening it though :) I still have a sword blade I need to handle...

    I like to upcycle what I can. I've reclaimed so much material that was around here already. The central bench is just some crap jointed 30nm chip board for flooring, but it's what I've got. I put some timber around the edges to add more surface and extra strength. I'll probably try and get a...
