Up for sale, a sole authorship stiletto dagger from Dan Graves. The handle is pre-ban elephant ivory, the fittings are high-polished nickel silver and the blade is Graves' own 1080/nickel Damascus. Blade length is 5-1/4" and overall length is 9-3/8". It's surprisingly sharp considering that the blade is just shy of a 1/4" thick at the guard. This is a solidly built, well-balanced, fully functional dagger that would make a great desk knife. No sheath, but it will be carefully packed.
There's a stabilized crack in the ivory that's approximately 3/4" long (see photos). The knife was returned to Dan a while back, who filled it with cyanoacrylate and gave it a good polish, so you can barely feel it if you run a fingernail over it. Other than that, the knife is mint.
Due to the repaired crack, I'm letting this one go for only $150.00 SOLD, which includes USPS Priority shipping with delivery confirmation and PayPal fees. No trades, please. Sorry, ConUS only on this one. Much be at least 18 to purchase. First unequivocal "I'll take it" gets it. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM, or email me at zos_kia@earthlink.net
Thanks for looking.
