Greetings! This is my first attempt at making a Parazonum Dagger.
I am open to receive any information, pictures, drawings or literature on 1st Century A.D. Parazonium Daggers. I am not sure if I will keep this one for my own kit or sell it. I have been making hilts for clients and have neglected my own projects so this one is an "In-between" breather.
Pictured here is the progress I made tonight. I Ground, Shaped and polished out a blade. I am thinking of making an all bone or all Antler (Yes... I know antler probable was not used but ivory was, so, antler would be for an ivory substitute because of the international ivory laws.)
My Officer Kit is circa 64 a.d.
The blade length is 13 3/4" with a full length including the tang at 17 7/8"
Your comments or questions are welcomed
