Dagger, whose very distant inspiration was the F-S fighting dagger of the British Commandos, but interpreted in an extremely free style. From the original design, basically only the proportions and a few basic parameters remain – the rest is my artistic vision. 🙂
The dagger includes several hidden details with personal meaning for its owner, symbolizing defense against oppression, hope for victory, and liberation. The entire work took me approximately 200–230 hours.
