In the terms of the period it represents, would AXIS DAGGER fit?

I know zilch about this sort of cutting tool, but I can recognise a real good used car salesman when I see him in action.

I guess if it had an Italian scabbard, then it would be an AXIS DAGGER.

I have to believe that had to be Dr. Frankendagger's motive... it's aliiiiiiive!

As much as I love a good dose of cross-cultural reuse on an antique edged weapon - a European bladed katar, for example - this bastard blade just, just... I don't know. Creative, sure... but I guess I didn't know SA daggers were so expendable?

Maybe this is the only way you the seller was able to get around the We're-denying-Nazi-Germany-ever-existed policy on feepay-epray?

Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I have to go spot weld a Yemeni jambiya blade onto a Victorian basketweave dirk hilt...

Don't you dare!!...but if you can't resist the urge I will take the scabbard...I need one!
