Good one Andrew but I think Charles had brought these up in a past thread? I just can't find it . Here is a link to a past thread. They look similar .

The dagger arrived the other day. The hilt had a bad split near the blade . I was able to repair it and etched the blade which blued it. The blade is mono steel.
