My favorite thing about Tod is just how he talks like he didn't make these things. It just goes to show how invested he is in history and how much he supports historical accuracy over just a dagger that will sell. Love ya Tod keep it up

Yeah but has he ever shown his shop other than the occasional shots of his wooden workbench? Does he have a belt grinder, mill, metal lathe, forge, three little dwarfs living under the porch who really do all of the work at night while he sleeps? Does he outsource his blades from China? It’s all a bit secretive isn’t it?

I find it quite amusing that I kind of find it the most "meh" because so many weapons in fantasy look like that lol. All of the others have that "historical look", but that one kind of looks like it's out of the Elder Scrolls or something ;) But I actually really like the interesting cut outs on the blade

I love watching daggers I can't afford. God bless Tod for making the Tod Cutlar mark for people like me :)

Also can I just say how impressive it is that Tod has made 14 daggers in just a few weeks! Especially with this level of detail, just thought I'd comment as nobody else seems to have mentioned it.

I'm now the prouud owner of the horn/antler hilted dagger at 2:27 Absolutely lovely piece!

I'm so glad the science and craftsmanship of these tools are still being produced.

thanks for the video, daggers dont get as much limelight as they deserve. Hearing you talk about the triangle cross section blades being banned made me interested in seeing you talk about modern military combat knives (like the Fairbairn-Sykes and KA-BAR). I'd be interested in your perspective, as someone who makes and knows a lot about historical weapons.

Lovely work Tod, thanks for posting.

Beautiful work. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing you knowledge.

Thank you so much for taking the time to show off your work. Simply beautiful pieces each and every one.

Excellent craftsmanship and historical notes. Thank you!

Great video, even better craftsmanship! Beautiful work, your pride and enjoyment of the work shines through

TY for showing and giving a knowleadgeable talk through.

I seriously loved this video! Watching all these unique craftmanship its just stunning. Im amazed that you possese so many medieval daggers and that says a lot of your dedication and your interest. I love medieval, and i love daggers, and you make very nice videos! So interesting!

Beautiful work Tod, and informative as always. Thanks.

How you pronunce Landsknecht is really quite funny. But Great work and a really interesting video!

Beautiful work Tod. Keep up the fantastic work on your constructs as well as your videos!

Just amazed at your level of craftsmanship

Tod, I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the work you do and the videos you make. I’ve been an Infantryman for over 13 years and what I love most about your work is getting a realistic view and explanation of the tools these Soldiers of the past used. To me it creates a tangible connection to the past as I imagine what it would be like to use in a normal day to day routine.

Beautiful craftsmanship!

Thank you again for all your work! all of your videos are enlightening in one form or another. Keeps me thinking of new ideas for my writings!

I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, it's very relaxing. Absolutely stunning workmanship as well!

I love these Tod. I'm a leather craftsman who is starting to move from traditional work (bags, watch straps etc) into sheath-making. I'm loving collaborating with custom cutlers, and as a result of your videos developing an interest in exploring traditional leather kit. That impetus came from watching your vids! Thanks for helping me discover a different dimension to my own interest.

"It sits on your belt looking dam cool"...awesome! Fantastic channel Tod, you bring history alive for my two sons.

Very cool. Seeing the different styles of daggers. And great info!

Those daggers are works of art, each and every one... you're quite the craftsman!!

You are an amazing craftsman beautiful works of historical art

I think you are really nailing it with your interpretations of the style at that time, the recent videos have been so good!

You are obviously both artist and historian. The arts are appreciated.

What a delight, in my long life I have collected and used a lot of knives, graduated onto some backyard cutting and got interested in old weaponry. I have quite a few short-bladed weapons which I am slowly getting rid off but am using my daggers as decoration in my home. The form of a well-styled dagger must have been absolute bling, this video was like a bag of sweeties, I am in the process of acquiring your Cutler range of daggers, more in my budget, but for every rich man, there are 1000 not so rich men who like luxury items.

Magnificent work, as usual.

I have one of your bollock daggers in my collection and it is a great piece. I just recently ordered a rondel, and a eating knife that I can carry everyday. The work on your daggers is awesome, especially for the prices and I just can't get enough of them.

Regarding the guards on some of the daggers being less than robust, I had thought that they would act more as an arrest for the hand; preventing it from sliding down the blade.

Love your channel Tod. Great presentation and excellent craft. Thank you.

What a superb array of stabbers ! I like what Tod said about the aesthetics being just as if not more important that comfort. These weapons were dress bling that spoke about the wearer. At least that's how I am understanding what I'm hearing. I have one of Tod's quillon daggers, now I want more ! Really fancy a rondel now ! Great work Tod, and I really admire youre facts and no nonsense approach.

They all look awesome I am looking forward to making a purchase in the future.

There is a lot of work and admirable skill in these daggers.

That 14th century spider web pommel dagger is just awesome. The back of the blade is just gorgeous

You are an artist sir. Breathing talent.

Great lineup you got there Tod! I love to see that you are still making versions of the Landsknecht dagger I comission from you a few years back, the one with the white handle in the vid. Hope to make it to TORM and see your and your stand sometime.

Amazing work, as always

These are masterpieces Tod. I can't even imagine how to start making something like this. You should do a video on how you got into blacksmithing.

You should be extremely proud of your ability to make such fine daggers sir.

Gorgeous blades.
