These are nice, but just to show how different peoples taste tend to be I prefer the leather scabbard over the brass one

Very nice shulas Dom! Looking at the pictures, I noticed something strange - the blades of the small and the big one are curved in a different direction. Is this the case, or is the big one's hilt decorated on both sides?
Regards, Teodor |

sharp view Teodor ... you are a good investigator  after discovered this particularity, I tried to imagine ... "why" ?? - left hand user w/right hand user - I think that the system of cords suspensor (3 points) and the small only 2, should have an impact (?) anyway, the big one's hilt hasn't a decor on both side I agree with Robert, but according with ; size of edged weapons and quality of scabbard, those dagger wasn't destined for the same social class of people, pure speculation  the brass scabbard owner was (may be) socially above the the leather scabbard bearer à + Dom |
