But it was a " no longer available " one

This is the one I asked Montino about.
Gr-r-r-r-r-r-r!

Because of the number of rivets?

When my birthday comes around I feel like Auda Abu Tayi in "Lawrence of Arabia"

He wanders around at one point muttering:

" MUST find something worthy!..."

Oh, and mine didn't have a sheath either. I made one, and now need some worthy silver work on it.

Ok, I do agree that, for once, the seller did make good pictures, but I fail to see why you all almost faint seeing the pictures – please explain.

I'm with you on this one Jens. I also failed to see why this dagger aroused so much interest. This new fascination with wootz amongst collectors is getting out of hand.

Here are some better pics of the dagger.

As for me, its an issue of the relative distance between my average piece and these. Not to mention that if prices continue as they have I'll have tenure before I'll get a wootz piece...
