I can't thank  feral-kitsune for doing a pic of Ainoko's dirk. I can honestly say that this does give one a good idea as to how the dirk is supposed to look like. In reality, the two whip-blades are 1/3 the length (10") of the main blade which is 30". The etchings on the blade is exactly what I see in my minds eye, the hilt would be about 12" for either single or double paw hold for how the weapon is wielded in a fight or battle.

This is NOT the final design of the blade, that will come when I can commission someone later next year.

Basically what I am trying to do, is make this look more intimidating and nasty looking. And yes, the dirk's design was and is based on the Japanese Sai (pictured here): http://oi51.tinypic.com/2cpp3dw.jpg


Ainoko has two primary weapons of choice. One is a 7.5’ long staff and a dirk that his father gave him before he died. The blade is 30' long and 1.5' wide with barbed edges, the blade has a blood channel running most of it's length with ornate etchings on it as well, it also has two 10' semi-ridged whip-like blades flanking the main blade. With the hilt, the dirk is 42" long (the dirk can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/3614859/ ). The hilt is bound in leather with various small gems and filigreed gold thread woven in it and a blood red emerald set on the pommel, it also has a matching scabbard that leaves the whip blades exposed.
