John, Not much more I can say that hasn't been said at this point... It is, with one look, a dagger that belongs in that very rare air...
I do want to say I was so pleased that you mentioned, in two seperate posts, how much you valued Joe Mason's design and work.. (The Virginian and Kevin Jones as well...) Your dagger didn't "need" gold inlay, but it sure wears it well.. I'm sure Joe knew he was working on a very special dagger that will stand the test of time.. Any collector would be proud to own this... Best Regards, Rich Slaughter
