Hello Steve,
thank you for reply. It's the same to me, I like them but I think that you have handled many more of them. The blade of the gunong with the dark handle is identic in the thickness from the gunong at the right side with the diamond cross section shaped blade and the steel is of good quality. I don't think that it is a tourist dagger because it shows signs of use. But you are right, I also like the others more. Best regards, Detlef |

You can tell so much more by actually handling them, rather than looking at pictures, eh? Nice pieces. Steve |

What a nice puppy, Steve. Especially with the lamination.

1. Polish with wet-or-dry sandpaper lubricated with Windex up to 800 or 1000. 2. Rinse, dry, then clean with Acetone. 3. Etch with Ferric Chloride diluted 3:1 with water. I use Radio Shack Circuit Board Etchant. 4. Neutralize first with vinegar, then with Ammonia based window cleaner (or ammonia), then with baking soda. 5. Rinse well, dry, then burnish lightly with 0000 steel wool lubricated with oil. Steve |
