Blade: Clay Hardenned 1084 with central hamon.
Handle: Black Walnut with Acid Etched Wrought Iron Fittings.
This rendition of the Subtle Knife is based on the book of the same title in the “His Dark Materials” series of novels and inspired by the prop work of the BBC series. It was also my submission for the 2022 48hour Dagger Build Challenge, and while some finishing touches were needed, I was pretty happy with how it panned out, as it was my first time participating.
(For legal reasons, only one of the edges is sharp)
