The above dagger measures 8-1/2 inches overall with a 5 inch blade. The hilt on this piece is composed of sections of turned stone (onyx, agate or quarts) that are separated by thin brass plates. It also has av turned brass spacer, butt cap and ferrules. All in all there was quite a bit of work involved in the making of these daggers.
Best,
Robert
