Here's a few pics of that slightly customized parrying dagger that I was talking about down in the off topic section. Nothing major here, I just wanted something that matched my Bavarian rapier. (Okay truth be told I've been reading Steven Brust again and well... I just wanted a matching rapier and dagger okay? I have NOT left my fascination with all things medieval.) :) Anyway I was just going to buy a musketeer parrying dagger as it was the one that looks the closest to me. Since it's my understanding that most rapiers and daggers were not matched sets anyway I figured it would be close enough. I mentioned what I was doing to Craig (or was it Chris I disremember) and he said "Well why don't we just do up a matching one for the Bavarian for you then?" I didn't argue with the man! :) Anyway here it is, as usual with Arms and Armor it's fantastic work. It's got nice tight tolerance a good clean finish and I really thing that those guys probably do a wire wrap as good or better (mostly better) then anyone else in the industry.

I'll do a full review of it later this is just for you guys that wanted to see it today...
