Some stats (only for the dagger, w/o the scabbard):
* total length - 412 mm
** blade length - 285 mm
*** blade width (at the guard) - 40 mm
**** blade thickness - 6.5 mm at the guard with almost no tapering to about the middle (6.0 mm), after that tapers to 4.5 mm at 20 mm from the tip
***** mass - 420 gr
Although the first impression is about heavy and clumsy weapon, the reality is different.
The dagger is controllable enough to be quite usable as weapon. Well, it's not as swift as the previously made crescent-shaped pommel one
