Trying to free up space by selling some of my old hobby knifemaking projects.
This dagger came together sort of by accident. I visited the Wawarsing Historical Society and Knife Museum in upstate NY a couple years ago. This is run by a group of local volunteers many of whom used to be connected one way or another with the Shrade knife making factory there (closed several years ago). So they had a pile of blades for sale very cheap, various styles, in different states of completion, some obviously factory seconds or out of spec. And of course one of them asked me to take it home with me… It was obviously a blade for a US M3 knife (or M4 bayonet), heat treated and ground to almost final finish.
Long story short (details under the link below), I did it up in a XVIc Landsknecht dagger style.
At the time, I posted the project here at the Historical Weapons Discussion forum:

There was a discussion with a lot of construction details, pictures, etc. So I am not repeating it all here, just look at that link above. Attached one picture here just in case.
Asking $125, shipping in continental US included.
PayPal is the preferred payment method.
Feel free to ask any questions if interested.
Thanks.
Alex.
