You had a run for your money, buddy

But you did well.
I watched it too, but ... one has to prioritize. Unfortunately.....
The e-snipe has changed the nature of bidding quite dramatically.

It is a matter of taste and collecting preferences, I am sure. Many of them are very beautiful, especially the long blades. But I agree, many of them are overcleaned. Perhaps, because they were not cared for properly for a long time...
However, when you see Indian wootz, it is a sight to behold....

Thats a nice dagger Lew. I've never seen one before

(Indian weapons not being my forte) Would you mind posting pics on this thread, after you receive it, the listing photos are not too clear.

Hi All

The dagger arrived the other day so here are some better pics. Bichwa strike me as a pure stabbing weapon.

I agree. Nasty, stabbing (backstabbing, too) street gang type weapon. An equivalent of Shiv.
Impossible to imagine a "knightly" person fighting with this thing.

When fighting being a knight or an oik makes no difference, a stab is a stab whoever sticks it in.
