Newest Treasure Acquisition, The Most Magic Knife, Esoteric Secrets, Gematria,+,+,+

My pleasure Joe, its an intriguing knife and unusual so looking into the many possibilities is much of the fun of learning with the knife as a focal point.
As with much of edged weaponry, markings and symbolism are with arcane meanings, and we can usually only speculate.

We could write pages here on what these symbols and the knife itself might be, but until we find some distinct corroboration, it remains a fascinating mystery.

To have any significance in terms of its Gematria the number would have to be 666 not 999. 666 together with 1080 added together equals 1746. Sometimes called the number of fusion. The most important number in the hierarchy of significant numbers , translating as it does into ' the spirit of the universe' or 'grain of mustard seed'. The negative connotations of 666 are believed to an attempt by the early church to distance itself from ideas that were certainly pre Christian in origin. An angel number can be any number with 3 repeated digits so I can't see this as having any esoteric meaning.

Hi Raf thanks for some insight

well depending on perception and orientation that number 666 is present

honestly my grasp of gematria is very limited, I don't know why those other numbers have come into play. in a quick research I do find a lot significance with 999 in gematria among Hebrew, Greek and English...
as far as angel numbers go I know even less,
I didn't exactly say its an angel number I said I think it was used to speak with angels, only one of my more light hearted hypothesis.

excluding gematria 999 is significant in other systems like the IChing and other religions.. even in simple math 9 is amusing, for example 6+6+6=18 1+8=9
or 9+9+9 +27, 2+7=9

I think the ____999_____ could represent 9999999999 ad infinitum... a representation of the infinite,, or the marco and micro
I am Shure there are numerous other ways to interpret the numbers using various systems.
the numerous interpretations again , could be part of the magic? and part of the way of occulting the esoteric

for example, the handle looks damaged? eaten by bugs?
could it have been previously buried....

[JoeCanada42]

this thought just occured to me.....
9+9+9+9=36, 3+6=9
9+9+9+9+9=45, 4+5=9
9+9+9+9+9+9= 54, 5+4=9

9x13=117 , 1+1+7=9
9x25=225 , 2+2+5=9
9x367 3303, 3+3+0+3=9

ad finitum

Or 1 divided 9 =1111111111 and 1111111111 x 1111111111=123456789 which I still find really scary.
Are you sure the handle isn't actually horn? Horn was the plastic of the eighteenth century. It could be boiled in caustic which de natures the horn and reduces it to a pulpy plastic mass that could be pressed into moulds. When dry it reverts back to a solid form. Inlays could be temporarily attached to the inside of the mould and the horn moulds itself around the inlay. Which is maybe what you have here. Is that alchemical enough for you ?

[JoeCanada42]

yes, quite alchemical, thank you very much!
That is something very interesting and something I have not heard of.
Actually I was not at all certain what the handle was made from, I was assuming ebony or horn.

I Hope these Posts can help inspire more comments
they are part of my quest to uncover the meaning in the symbols or some corroborative evidence .
