Yes, Fernado, perhaps you should send it my way so I can carefully see if it fits in with my naval collection...for classification purposes only, I swear!

Thnks fo the suggestion, Cap'n; your'e a good man . But i wouldn't do that to you; imagine all the stress living in common with the grip dilemma .

Thank you Dirk,
Their provenance is not the same as my example, but they are from the same vicinity.

Hi Fernando,

That is a nice example with a very long slender blade.

I will try to post a new thread on the topic today, maybe someone can pinpoint the exact origin ... Look for sail guard dagger.

Kind regards

Dirk
