All nice items, Bill. I am partial to the "all-steel" ones (although the haft is made of steel essentially wrapped around a wood rod with a presumably removable pommel). The belt and dao-holder are nice. It seems to be the case that a lot of these have been married up with daos that don't quite fit the holders. I imagine that many of the narrower-bladed daos may have been suspended from belts with the block-type holders worn in the small of the back.
