I made a dagger 27 years ago I was so proud of.....for a while. Then I sold it on and just recently it came back to me and after 27 years of absence I can now say as a definite fact - IT IS HIDEOUS!!!! Quite well made but hideous none the less.
My first bollock dagger.
I don't know why you might want to see it, except to laugh at me, but we all need humbling sometimes, so prepare your selves for probably the nastiest dagger made.

@@jayd5836 I don't think there is any question it would have been made at some point, the resources are available and the cost over any other form of handle negligible. In the same way there really stupid cars/bikes/clothing made now that are nothing but a joke that is just about practical enough to use (and now usually costing far far more than a more normal option). I suspect something like this 'Tod's second? bollock' probably existed in history somewhere too. Maybe even for exactly the same reasoning his came to be 'oh this idea is really fashionable in Paris' says the Conquistador to the native, who then thinks its a good joke and tells his buddy they want to 'shaft' their opponents in this way too...

i have a bastard sword with a anatomical handle, like the celtic handles but instead of having sword blade as the 'head' i made the head and arms the pommel then handle is body still & it used to have a curved knife hilt/long celtic hilt but these days its a drider:P /has a knife hilt & 4 upturned 'legs' on hilt 2 each side running 8cm or so down blade/6 legs with a limited shell/cup section above hand. it is lacking large pronounced bollox though its just the phalus legs body arms head, but its a mighty phalus 5-6cm wide 68cm long 19cm handle 5cms of brass pommel :P its kinda heavy but has its balance just above hilt & a lot of sword catchers even pommel can direct a blade because of upturned arms & its wide enough i have just blocked thrusts & javalins on the flat of blade before &most importantly it looks amusing for practicing with lol

At that time I could functionally sew, but I had no concept of stitches per inch or any of that. Now nearly 20 years I get sought out for research questions or to make things. I now collaborate on research with groups and sites I use to look at as the experts. It's so weird seeing how we evolve as makers.

A year or so ago, Todd, I heard you describe this dagger in one of your films. You mentioned the mild steel blade but I don't think you described the handle. In that video you were extremely critical of your first dagger, and I must say, I expected something far, far less well-made. I forged my first ever dagger as a project for a KZfaq film. I think yours is better, or at least less badly finished.

That's actually close to an original that can be seen in the book "arms of the American Revolution". When I first started forging iron and steel i didn't make a knife for about ten months. I wanted it to be correct, so when I got good at forging I finally made a knife that was forged to close to the final dementions so I didn't have as much bench work to do. When I finally finished, I had the ugliest knife I've ever seen, but I still use it for a kitchen/butcher knife and my wife loves it. A while back I picked up from my shop floor a knife I had started in my early days. It looked wrong but I reforged it and now its beautiful. I sold it soon after finishing it for four hundred bucks. Not bad for a piece that I hated enough when I started that I threw it away. I still don't use electric power tools in the stuff I make. It makes it more fun.

When you unpixelated the dagger I laughed. And I agree, I don't think I'll ever be able to unsee it. That being said I also agree, purely craft speaking it is nicely done. And that piercing is called a Prince Albert. ;-)

Todd, I've always enjoyed your videos, but I can't say I've laughed with one quite this much. Thank you for a good laugh at the end of a terrible friday.

I've got a large wooden ladle that had a very long handle and I thought it would be a cool stew bowl for 'Buckskinner/Muzzleloader' events if I cut the handle down a lot. So it ended up as a decent sized wooden bowl with a six inch handle. A smart ass friend who had some wood carving skills noticed it at one event and later that day I discovered he'd done exactly to its handle what Tod did with this dagger. Everyone in our camp LOL'd.

As someone who did study french medieval history; That thing could 100% exist. Maybe not as a everyday thing, cause it is a bit too overt, but, still. If someone said they had seen that in a museum, I wouldn't question it. At all.

Even though we have no historical examples, I would bet that some young apprentice somewhere made your dagger previously. Probably several unless their masters caught them first. Also received my falchion, which is lovely and now I just somewhere I can wear it to.

Tod, you're an artist. That first bollock dagger is so life-like. You gotta bring that back - it'll sell like hotcakes.

That is absolutely amazing! Love it! Totally agree with the message at the end too, my first knives were absolute trash but I learnt something from each one and now I'm at the point where I'm making fairly decent stuff. I've still got a way to go but like Tod says, keep making and never stop!

From one craftsment to another i can totally understand that you arent really proud of your first piece. But that is the thing, dont stop at your first, just keep going and the stuff you are making will look so much better with time. I am sure not there were you are right now, but sure keep getting better and love starting over with each new projekt.

I love the fact that the- if you'll excuse my word choice here as I'm unfamiliar with weapon uh- anatomy terms. The nut- that is component that keeps the blade together with the -shaft- hilt looks like precum.
