Hi Archer,
Well if nobody else is going to comment, I will!
Its a lovely dagger. I wouldn't be suprised it if had a wootz blade either.
Very nice indeed. Congratulations.

Thank you Gene, I thought since I had most of the info, I would try and be informative. It's a cousin to the Chilanum. As Lew would say "feeling like chopped liver". I'll be doing cartwheels if it's also wootz.

CONGRADULATIONS, A VERY ATTRACTIVE DAGGER, I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE BALL WITH THE SWIRLED PATTERN IN THE CENTER OF THE GRIP. YOUR EXAMPLE IS NICER THAN THE OTHER EXAMPLE PICTURED. I ASSUME THE HAND THAT WOULD HOLD THE GRIP WOULD BE SMALL. WERE THESE WORN CONCEALED OR IN THE OPEN AND HOW WERE THEY USED ( FOR SLASHING PRIMARILY OR FOR STABBING) I KNOW NOTHING OF THESE BUT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE.
