Seriously you have a gorgeous selection going on here. Had I been richer, I would've bought two on the spot, then contemplated about others The deer antler rugger along with the ladsknecht dolch are really catching my eye.



I really like the bronze fittings on the Hans Holbein dagger, not that the silver plating on the other one wasn't nice, just felt that it lost some of its details because of all the shiny-ness. Maybe if it were made rough on parts or slighly darkened for contrast it would have looked better to me. You might have been under the same opinion I'd imagine, with all the work that goes into those details. Oh well to each their own I guess, as it was the buyers choice after all.



Great job once again tod!

I've been eschewing purchases diligently (with one major exception) of the last couple of years in ordet to fund a trip for myself and my family to your country (heck maybe I could even meet you in person). Then you go post stuff like this. This is gorgeous work of course and fits right in with my studies of late. So are you just trying to keep me out of England or what? TRITONWORKS Custom Scabbards

I really still very much like the Eared Dagger you made for me and your style of workmanship is very unique in looking very much as if you had a time machine and went back in time to buy your work.



Anyway, I can at least recommend your work highly even if I have to wait a while before buying something. Leo great looking pieces and if I hadn't already seriously overspent in the last couple of months there are at least 3 or 4 shown that I would have considered buying ..... I guess that is the sad news from me, at least for this " edition " of available pieces, but it certainly motivates me to plan on buying something or having a custom piece made again.I really still very much like the Eared Dagger you made for me and your style of workmanship is very unique in looking very much as if you had a time machine and went back in time to buy your work.Anyway, I can at least recommend your work highly even if I have to wait a while before buying something. You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Which on some level really is a shame since I've wanted to re-add a piece from Todd ever since I sold of the Braunwer and by-knife of his that I picked up some years back.
