Nice Knife ........How Much ????

[katana]

Hi All,
this recently ended on eBay ... not so certain of origins, has elements of the Grecian type of this form of dagger.

So, if this price is right for this dagger.... why is it so special

Thanks for all comments.

I have just checked the winning bidder....and he's from Greece. I do know that if this is a genuinely old Greek knife they are relatively rare .... but at this price

Insane.....

Few months ago I asked the forum why a native North American knife went so high in Ebay. You, my friends told me that they are rare and much wanted from collectors.

The same here. It is a genuine Cretan knife of 19th century in excellent condition and two Greek collectors wanted it very much. This is not a typical price but a result of passion!

Passion can lead to "buyers remorse"; I hope not in this case .

And a passion well placed indeed! These really are beautiful knives, and I recognized it immediately....Thank you Yannis!!!

All the very best,
