Hi Tim

It set me back about three weeks of fish and chips but I needed to cut back on my fatty foods anyway

The dagger arrived today.

I cleaned off the active rust with some 0000 steel wool and rubbed a drop of oil into the horn hilt to revive it. Everything is tight and the leather is still soft and flexible. I notice some layered effect in the steel probably some type of simple pattern welded stuff? I am a very happy camper.
