It was mixed in with a lot of other knives but the dirk and the Tanto are the special ones to me..

I have discussed the Tanto on another forum and it is from the early 1500's so 2 v nice items from one auction buy.

Hi Ken
Very nice lot, and compliments for the two "jewels". Am I wrong or the tsuka of the tanto is in reverse position ?
Best regards Gio

Hi Gio,
No it is correctly made and assembles this way, looks uncomfortable but actually fits into the hand OK.
Regards
Ken
