pretty cool dagger, detlef!
this is from around WW2. this particular type is colloquially known as tres kantos, literally it means three corners, from the way the sides of the blade is configured. good catch!!! |

Thank all three for dating the dagger and an extra thank to Spunjer for giving it a name. What I like is the (whale ?) bone grip.
Robert you are correct, the blade is flat on the other side. Regards, Detlef |

Have received the dagger and have given it some maintenance, the blade is still very sharp, get two small cuts. The blade is indeed well worked and the dagger have a good balance.
Here some pictures. |
