A couple of daggers made in Bhutan recently. The blades are springs but the hilts and scabbards are traditional.

And four daggers of various types and qualities, most 20th century: one with washo (grooves) on a laminated blade (plus a gilt pierced-iron pommel); one with a plain laminated blade; one with a monosteel fullered blade; and one with a doorknob shaped repousse sheet metal pommel and a fluted diamond-section blade.
