In accordance with requests made to me by many members, I am starting a thread on the NSKK High Leader Dagger. For those of you not familiar with the dagger, it is a chained damascus piece that is very similar in construction to the SA Honor - with three notable differences:

1) NSKK Honor Daggers have a smooth-grain black leather colored scabbard.

2) NSKK Honor Daggers have two types of chains. Either an 800 silver chain that is unique to these pieces, or a standard-looking NSKK chain. Both chain configurations exhibit a very unique looking center scabbard fitting.

3) The reverse of the NSKK exhibits a stylized signature of Hunlein, the NSKK Korpsfuhrer.

Here are some photos.
