Anders Hogstrom Offset boot dagger (offset, because of the asymmetrical blade).
Blade is 1050, clay tempered with a double hamon. African Blackwood handle. Textured and antiqued sterling silver fittings made utilizing the same "lost wax casting" technique that jewelers use. Blade length is 4 1/4 inches with an overall length of 8 1/2 inches.
The leather scabbard is as detailed as the fittings. Asymmetrical stitching on one side matches the offset of the blade and fits the knife beautifully with a what could only be described as a muffled "snap".
This dagger feels substantial in the hand. It has the weight and balance of a sacred implement.
At the asking price of $OLD USD (including CONUS shipping and insurance) most of you will recognize what a deal this knife is.
