Solid gold guard and pommel make this dagger a hefty piece. A total of 10.2 oz of gold (as cast) has been used. The blade was forged of 1084 and 15N20 in a modified ladder pattern with a distinct 15N20 banding layer, giving the blade a dramatic look. The fully fluted solid Damascus handle has been sculpted and inlayed with Mother of Pearl, not only on the flat face, but also at the sides. As the sides have a round contour, inlaying was extremely challenging. All inlay work was done by hand. The pommel has a full color spectrum AAA ammonite inset into it. Engraving by D. Reeves.
