Sorby Dag

[isaac]

I am in the process of having a dag made for a 1800ish impression here in the NW (historic not present). Anyway, I have a number of articles from the MOFTQ and a couple museum examples, but does anyone have any good images (perhaps not published) of early J. Sorby dag blades... or thoughts on them.

Here's one from the MOFT Fur trade Cutlery Sketchbook .


I'll see if I can find more later - and welcome back Isaac!

Isaac, have you seen the John Olive books on indian weapons, some good dag photos of originals. Many were sold without scales so you can create a knife typical of your area.

Thanks, Dale. I will have to check them out.

Here are a few good images I currently have (most of which are quite early)...

I added a little thing on my blog about dags... focusing more on connecting them to the French era and use around me in Wisconsin. It also shows my new dag that I will be playing with...
