Hi Carlos,
Thank you. I'm very pleased with it. I have a Large Albacete dagger of the single edged 'A' type.
Do you have a theory for the small size of this one?

Hi Gene!1
I think the size of your knife is normal, 11 in is more or less the typical siza to this kind of knife. In this city made some miniatures of this knife, but in your case it isnīt.

Hi carlos,
I see. Thats even more of a burn that I got rid of the larger one I had.
You can see what I mean by small though? Its tiny compared with the type A that I've got:

Thank you Carlos
Keep looking, you'll find one eventually.
I've been looking for a while now to get this type B.
Would you post a picture of your 5 examples? I'd very much like to see them.

Next I would like a lantern hilted one, pierced blade type B, or type A with 'offset hilt'.
They are beautiful!

Fantastic collection Carlos!
What is the size range from smallest to largest?
I've heard that the pierced blades are for poison, do you think that is true?
What about age?
You have a great collection, something for me to aspire toward.
Thanks for sharing.
Best
