Attached are my three examples.

Hiya, it is a pity about the damage, but it came in at less than half what they normally go for, and it's fixable. I am thinking of using a junk coin for the end cap or something similar. Just over 23 cm long total, out of the scabbard.

They remind me very much of the "Sam Bell" dirks in the US.
