Are you tempted to etch the blade? I'd have thought that was a prime candidate for some hidden treasures!
I love the decoration on it, reminds me of Xmas tinsel and garlands 
In a nice way of course!
And thanks for the kind comments 
As for the handle on the 'Mead'... Thats the beauty isn't it I'm kind of leaning towards a stag-horn carving like Chegru has (the 'What a Dha' thread).
I've got to look in the shed as I've got a few really old stag horns.
What are the chances I'll have a long enough straight-ish section?
Best

Thanks Gene,
Here are the specs:
Blade is 41cm
Total length is 54cm
Spine thickness at the handle is 8mm
Similar to one of the knives carried by Nepal's Prime Minister Shree Tin Chandra Samsher
I actually have this one available on the Swap Forum...but no interest shown....
It's a very heavy duty piece as you can see by the specs...
