Comments: A magnificent Art Dagger by talented Wyoming maker Dennis Friedly. Dennis have been making knives for 38 years, and first learned about knife making from deceased legend Harvey Draper. Dennis loves working with damascus and fine fossil ivory, and is especially careful to make sure each piece is well balanced to the eye and not overdone with frivolous embellishments.
This classic double-edged Art Dagger has magnificent proportions and was fully and tastefully engraved by Master Jim Blair. The presentation-grade fossil handle has been lovingly fluted and inlaid with gold wire.
Dennis is a voting member of the Knifemakers Guild and has won numerous awards, including the 2006 Solvang Best of Show, the BACCA Best Hunter and the Baretta Award twice! He is always working on new designs and currently attend three shows a year. This includes Solvang, the Blade Show and the Plaza Cutlery Show.
He generally favors Daggers, Bowies and Fighters with a strong Art Knife style, and is currently quoting 1-2 years for delivery depending on the model and engraving.
