That's a Busse, right? I'd like it more if the guard wasn't like that with the holes but I guess that is one Busse's trade marks so it's not going anywhere. Cool nontheless!

Yes Busse, I got 2 when they came out. Really well balanced and quick in the hand.

Just ordered my first dagger. Never had a double edge before, but on this knife, the double edge option was just perfect symmetry wise. I will add photos when I actually receive it. It’s a Batch 5 G&G Hawk Deadlock. I was lucky enough to make a deposit and get in on Batch 5 that sold out in less than 5 minuets apparently lol. Got a heat treated double edge coming!

That looks like a pretty cool option to begin! Nice design. I see that there are some reviews on youtube. I'll check them out later.
Well starting your dagger collection with one of those would be very nice. Check out Hill Knives from the Netherlands they have a similar design.
Those look pretty good but the price is unforgiving for me.
Do works in progress count? I guess I "own" it, for now.....
Yeah I guess you do "for now" lol.
Do push-daggers count?
Man those are GOALS. Where did you get those display cases and hooks for the daggers? Also, on the first photo what is that dagger to the far right? Sweet collection man!
You own this one too?

Thanks! That first display case is one my dad had, so it's pretty old. It had a green pegboard back that I covered with the red felt. Can see some of the hooks are green...those are the original plastic ones that came with the case. The other metal ones I got at HD or Lowes. And I added the lights. The push-dagger case is one of a few i got more recently from a guy on eBay.
From left to right:
1. Blackjack AF (no cracks in handle, which is rare)
2. Cold Steel Tai Pan (original AUS8 version)
3. Upper: Ek dagger with cocobolo handle (made with leftover AF parts; also have the buffalo horn version)
4. Lower: Western W75
5. Blackjack Tartan Dirk
6. Upper: Gerber Mark I
7. Lower: Kershaw Special Agent
8. Gerber Mark II (Cutlery Shoppe version)
9. Blackjack Blackmoor Dirk
10. Bottom: Case FS replica

Only have two. The first is a Fairbairn Sykes pattern two made by Wilkinson in 1942 and the second is a Sgian Dubh with silver fittings and Damasteel blade by Rab Gordon from Dramnadroichit, Scotland
Years ago, I had mentioned to my wife that I had a nice Ek dagger in the Marines. I was bemoaning the fact that the knife had gone lost in time. She did her research and sent away for an Ek dagger for me. She unintentionally bought an Ek guard-less, and I prize it to this day.
Solingen based manufacturer Hugo Hammesfahr & Co. GmbH. once used the following brand names: 'Blau-Jacke', 'Blau-Jungs', 'Crown & Torches' ('The', 1922), and 'Hacomer' (1922).
This quality dagger with it's polished blade was probably made in the late '40's.
Specs:
Overall length: 25,0 cm (9.84 inch)
Blade lenghth: 15,3 cm (6.0 inch)
Max blade thickness (ricasso): 5.25 mm
Steel: drop-forged stainless
Handle material: German silver quillion guard, aluminium & fiber washers, aluminium pommel
Sheath: Black leather with German silver tip
