I made a dagger 27 years ago I was so proud of.....for a while. Then I sold it on and just recently it came back to me and after 27 years of absence I can now say as a definite fact - IT IS HIDEOUS!!!! Quite well made but hideous none the less.
My first bollock dagger.
I don't know why you might want to see it, except to laugh at me, but we all need humbling sometimes, so prepare your selves for probably the nastiest dagger made.

@foldionepapyrus3441 10 месяцев назад

@@jayd5836 I don't think there is any question it would have been made at some point, the resources are available and the cost over any other form of handle negligible. In the same way there really stupid cars/bikes/clothing made now that are nothing but a joke that is just about practical enough to use (and now usually costing far far more than a more normal option). I suspect something like this 'Tod's second? bollock' probably existed in history somewhere too. Maybe even for exactly the same reasoning his came to be 'oh this idea is really fashionable in Paris' says the Conquistador to the native, who then thinks its a good joke and tells his buddy they want to 'shaft' their opponents in this way too...

i have a bastard sword with a anatomical handle, like the celtic handles but instead of having sword blade as the 'head' i made the head and arms the pommel then handle is body still & it used to have a curved knife hilt/long celtic hilt but these days its a drider:P /has a knife hilt & 4 upturned 'legs' on hilt 2 each side running 8cm or so down blade/6 legs with a limited shell/cup section above hand. it is lacking large pronounced bollox though its just the phalus legs body arms head, but its a mighty phalus 5-6cm wide 68cm long 19cm handle 5cms of brass pommel :P its kinda heavy but has its balance just above hilt & a lot of sword catchers even pommel can direct a blade because of upturned arms & its wide enough i have just blocked thrusts & javalins on the flat of blade before &most importantly it looks amusing for practicing with lol

I now collaborate on research with groups and sites I use to look at as the experts. It's so weird seeing how we evolve as makers.

That's actually close to an original that can be seen in the book "arms of the American Revolution". When I first started forging iron and steel i didn't make a knife for about ten months. I wanted it to be correct, so when I got good at forging I finally made a knife that was forged to close to the final dementions so I didn't have as much bench work to do. When I finally finished, I had the ugliest knife I've ever seen, but I still use it for a kitchen/butcher knife and my wife loves it. A while back I picked up from my shop floor a knife I had started in my early days. It looked wrong but I reforged it and now its beautiful. I sold it soon after finishing it for four hundred bucks. Not bad for a piece that I hated enough when I started that I threw it away. I still don't use electric power tools in the stuff I make. It makes it more fun.
