Hi Tom!

Thanks for all the help with my dagger! I have one of those useless decorator koummyas it is as sharp as a butter knife(if not duller). Your certinaly right about the "hunting knife" out here in rural PA just about everybody has at least one dagger/knife for hunting,work,etc. My work knife is a Iraqi AK-47 bayonet!

But how do you think the english writing on the throt of my dagger came about in a country of people who speak arabic and hebrew?My idea is it was a old can just made into a dagger in modern times.So is a Islamic not Hebrew weapon.I am suprised th st use silver not tin or other metal and real horn to hold the blade in place not plastic like my other two.

Thanks again for the help with my dagger!!
