Dagger inspired by Renaissance left-hand daggers, with a strong dose of art-fantasy on top. 🙂 I spent more than 500 hours on this work, and it is the most complex piece I have created so far. This type of dagger is called a “crown dagger” in some parts of the world. And since crowns are worn mainly by queens, that is where the name comes from – after the greatest “queen” of all time. 🙂
