Lew and Jens, you both have simply magnificent examples! Thank you for sharing!
And I am pretty sure that both blades are Wootz. Even mine pretty simle Khanjarli has a Wootz blade. |

Tatyana, your 'pretty simle Khanjarli' is very nice - you love it, and so do I.
Now, the difficult thing here it to date these Khanjarlies. If you use two or three centuries, it will be possible - but to my opinion it is not possible at the moment to come any closer. You can say the wear, but it is also known that weapons of great age have not been used, and for this reason look as if they were almost new. Another riddle to solve. |

Gorgeous example Lew. With an all ivory guard, I'm betting there was no knuckle guard.

Thank you all for your comments. When the dagger arrives I will check to see if it ever had a knuckle guard.

Congrats Lew
Congrats Lew.
I love those clean crisp lines in the blade. I look forward to viewing any pattern steel you may find. Even if none it was an impulse well followed in my eyes. Gav |
