I saw that one on eBay, but I didn't even get close. I was hoping that someone on this forum got that. It's really beautiful, congratulations.

< < < more seriously, what you ask for to translate is like ... take a ball of wool , and you want the beginning of the wool yarn ... once found, there is more to pull ... but ... where is the beginning ? THAT IS THE QUESTION therefore your request require; time, patience, and perhaps for nothing à + Dom |

Thanks a lot Dom....
However, i`m more confuse now ? Is it some kind of poem ? If yes, Why did they put that on this dagger ? Sorry, i just didn`t get the point. I think for edge weapon ( if i should put words ), i will put a heroic theme, or maybe with some religion connection, ie, God protection , etc...
