Custom Knife Making: The Commando Dagger

Thank you for joining me on my channel. Today, we will be making a Commando Dagger, inspired by the iconic World War 2 British Fairburn Sykes dagger. I made this knife using 5mm Bohler K460 steel for the blade, 3mm 1070 steel for the guard, 12mm 5160 round steel for the pommel and stacked leather for the handle. Feel free to use whatever you have available or prefer. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.
