WoW!!! Well I hope it is ok to spend more than a minute looking at this outstanding dagger, presentation box and amazing photography.

"Sheath

"I include a lot of pictures, sorry"

The only folks being sorry would be US if you had not included so many wonderful images.

BFC has been purvey to many wonderful images of a huge assortment of creatively done knives by many wonderful makers and by so many great photographers over the years and these rank up with the best. This is a knife any of us I am sure would be proud to have as part of a collection.

The Celia Dagger is spectacular!
Many thanks for mentioning my name for inspiration.
Mauricio has taken the feather to new heights. Love the carved ivory and contrasting textures. Him and his wife make a good team.
