Opinions on reproduction turkish (or persian?) dagger

Hi dakary,

I actually like the lines of this knife, with one exception. The grip area of the hilt is too short. Comparing it to the antique versions shown by other commenters, the cut out areas of the hilt need to be longer and with more sharply defined shoulders. Otherwise I think he has done a nice job. If you want authenticity for the time period you are interested in, then the suspension rings on the sheath should go.

How does the knife feel in your hand?
