First Dagger.

HI guys, well here is my very first dagger.
Based on a template from Dan, originally was a coffin handle dagger...lets just say that something happen long the way and it became a hidden tang dagger.
so the blade is stainless steel , engraved on both sides, the hand guard and pommel are copper, yes I noticed a nick on the guard...it has been sanded out and re polished.
the handle is all hand carved , now the wood to be honest don't remember what it was called ...sent to me by Secret Santa...maybe he can remember .
Hope you guys like it....comments...criticism and complaints always welcome.
