Description

Dag knife set with pewter or lead with a salvaged blade perhaps a broken lance blade or tool steal . Set in hard maple with two pewter “ weeping hearts “ inlays . Fully functional but in my opinion a reservation period dance item . Blade does show tons of use with chip and nicks , good patina even on the cutting edge although patina loss at blades tip , the tip has been reshaped at some point or sheath wear to the tip .
The handle has nicks and scraps but all in all I’m good shape . Some pewter loss wear the blade meets the handle but very Soild and functional. Feels great in the hand and well display just as great
