I'm sorry, Jim, but you have no experience with SS Honor Daggers. If you did, you'd know that these "project" pieces bear no resemblance to genuine specimens, other than their general physical shape. I can speak with genuine authority on this subject, having personally owned six original examples. These creations may present a challenge to you, but they do not present a challenge to those with more experience. Buying an SS Honor dagger is the easiest thing to do, with respect to authenticating one. It takes me about 1 second to know whether or not the dagger in question is real or not. They are VERY easy to evaluate, and you yourself could do it after about 10 minutes of instruction.
