my latest project is a type 3A dagger. these daggers come in six types . each type is divided into subtypes a,b,c,d,...
the 3a has a thick handle (as thick as it is wide) , but no stitching.
it's counter intuitive to try to keep the handle thick . easy to accidentally thin it.
also it's hard to transition between the thick handle (1:1) and the thin blade (1:4 or better) without creating a concavity that stops flakes.
leapingbare: when i try to narrow the handle near the pommel, my flakes want to run up the edge, taking of part of the flat pommel- how do i keep them on the handle face and not wrapping over the pommel edge? do i need to really yaw them away from the pommel, or what?
