Hi Lew,
Nice dagger, I've developed a bit of a soft spot for these pieces, I really like the method used of attaching the strap to the sheath on your example.
Regards,
Norman.

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.
