I know, the camera sux, but it's fun
I should be buying a decent video camera soon and these well get better....
but till then -- enjoy
This is destined to be a big ol' (13") confederate style dagger with W2
should be a lot of fun to build.

Wow! A 13" good sized dagger! Some lucky bastid will be celabrating his birthday Mar 26!
One Two, thru and thru
the Vorpal Blade went snicker snack,
He left it dead and with the head
came galumphing back!

Here I've got the blade ground down to it's final shape with a temp hickory handle
I go through a bunch of edge testing
Manila Rope
2x4
Dried Bamboo
Leather
Cardboard
MDF
and a bunch of paper to show that it's still sharp
also you get a nifty peek at the Hamon which I am particularly impressed with so far.

Hell of a thread Stephan. Looking forward to seeing this dagger finished, the owner will be one lucky SOB.
Wow!
Awesome thread and display of skills sir!
This is a really good thread Stephan. I've been having trouble knowing if my knives are heat treated properly and if the edge will hold up. I've never used a really good knife so i have nothing to compare to. That last video of you testing is perfect though, you cut paper after every test and that is something i can do and compare my results with yours. Thank you very much!
