A super catch, congratulations!
Usually they are much, much more expensive.
I had it bookmarked but forgot to bid on it.

nice catch at the current roe (rate of exchange)

Indeed well noticed by Mc Cormack that the blade shows nickel lines.
Did you clean or etch the blade yet ?

Yes, I know, for all others I have I paid a lot of more! Good luck for me that you forgot to bid on!

Thank you! Pade blades have usually pamor blades, think that I will give it a light etch when I have received it.

Nice piece Detlef. I love the pade's.
I wished it was a dayak weapon so I could keep one... ;-)

I think I have to look at epray again more often...

Congratulations with this fine piece,
Maurice

Today I received the pade. All in all I am satisfied with my purchase, special by the price I paid for. The horn part of the handle is bursted maybe from corrosion of the tang and the "fiber" wrapping at the handle isn't original and maybe recent. But the lamination of the blade is very nice and the blade is 11 mm thick at the handle.
Here some additional pictures.
