Thanks very much for those Ben.

I love the oddness of the first bollock dagger and the grip on the last rondel is quite lovely, but otherwsie, yes just the sort of images I was chasing.

Interesting, I have seen such reinforced points on some daggers while over in Afghanistan...

Dear Tod,

Have you seen this one from the Higgins Armory Museum?

Best,

Mark Millman

Note the ribbing in the point reinforcement, which seems to grow from the fullering. [ Download ]

I hope others will take the time to add to this topic. I'm on my way out, but here are a couple for the pile.

Again thank you, exactly the sort of images I was after.

The dagger posted by Mark Millman has a very interesting blade and one I would love to see in person as I can't quite work out what is going on with that fullering - looks stunning, just confusing.............

Regards

Tod
