SJ Dagger w/gold
This is another part of a collection I bought a few years ago. Recently made, but made by the descendents of the craftsmen who have been making pieces like these for a long time.
12" long. Still experimenting with staining. Using Ferric chloride. Have some stains near the blade tip that keep coming back as spots. I buff them down with 0000 steel wool and they vanish, but then when I stain, they come back.
Comments on the piece?
Comments also on how I can make the staining better.
