Quillon Dagger by Hanford Miller

Another historical blade by Hanford Miller... The new owner will no doubt be pleased with this one.

Thanks, Buddy. This knife, sheath and photo are a standout by every measure.

The knife has incredible detailing, and your insets bear this out: The sheath button, the lace at the throat, the filing on the quillions, the pattern of the steel. WOW! :thumbup:

I studied this for minutes. In this internet age, that says a lot.

Thanks, Coop. This one presented some serious photographic challenges and I learned a ton from shooting it. If you like it, I'm confident I can finally lay it to rest and move on. Photographing knives reminds me of whats-her-name (I forget) who sang, "Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug." I was definitely the bug this time!

That's one amazing knife. I really love the whole package and the detailing is super. Can you tell a bit more about the materials used.

Extraordinary. Makes me proud that this type of craftsmanship thrives!

Standing on the shoulders of the giants of another generation (Moran, Morseth, Lile, Henry, Loveless) but seems to me to be better quality design and craftsmanship . They would be proud!
