Dutch Knife - ?
Friends,
Please allow me to make my first post tothis list. I will begin bysaying that I greatly admire the expertise and wonderful stuff thatis presented here. I only hope that I can make addtions that are worthy.
I would like reactions and information about a knife I have owned for some time. I read it as a "fruitwood"handled belt knife that had a beveled clip point, now significanlty reshaped thru sharpening. The carved handle has a roaring lion at the end. The handle itself has three (count'em3) female figures - 1 with 3 children, 1 with an anchorand a bird, and 1with a scale and a sword.
This brings to my mind figurally hilted Dutch swords. Am I at all close?
