This dagger can be seen in the Treasury of the Basilica San Marco in Venice, Italy.
It is identified as 14th century and named "St. Peter's Dagger" |

Just a name I think. I doubt that Pete was around when this was made --- still, he was a pretty exceptional sort of bloke, no telling what's possible for a man like that.

yes, i'd expect that it was filled with a whole passle of mana. should be floating above the holder. could do with a clean & a bit of oil.
i'd like one like that (tho with a bit less age & provenance) |

I would love to own a dagger like this, especially with this type of fluting and blade chiseling.
Not to be obtuse, but is this a European dagger or a Middle Eastern dagger (looking at the hilt)? |

In its historical context a sica would be classed as a European weapon. Ian. |
