Re: My daggers

Thanks for looking .

I also have had no success on finding anything about the dagger apart from when I bought it .Then it was listed as an Egyptian commando dagger by the German seller.

Re: due buoi

All the du bois knives shown are beautiful .

I particularly like the leverlock fastr19 posted but i'm not choosy and would have loved one example of any knife shown here .

Rarely see these for sale ,and never saw one this side of the pond as I would have bought it .

Re: My daggers

I believe it is an Egyptian commando dagger ,probably from the 60s or 70s but I cant find much about it .
It came complete with bloody sheath and is quite wide for a combat knife ,more like a spear tip .than a dagger .

Heres some better images of it .

Does the same apply to mother of pearl ?
