Another Bhutan Dagger
Just picked this up on Ebay. Hair pin pattern steel blade and an interesting horn hilt.

Very nice Lou, Hairpin folding I always realy like.
 I wonder if its yak horn? I have never found an example I know to be 100% identified as such. But there must plenty of it thats been used. Any particular texture to the horn? Spiral |

The dagger arrived today and it's a beauty
 I Restored the leather with a dab of Kiwi brown shoe polish. Btw the spine is .250" thick. Spiral I think the horn is from the bharal sheep and not yak seems like rams horn to me.Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 25th November 2006 at 12:39 AM. |
