Have had this Teno dagger for many years. Curious about a couple of things. Is it authentic, condition, etc... Thanks for your Help.

From the pictures the dagger looks OK but I think we'd need better resolution pictures since there are some decent fakes of this model.

Well, I an no expert but I WANT that knife!!!

Not an expert here either but this looks like an original & very nicely conditioned TeNo. Congrats!

For these photographs is the original dagger in excellent condition. Number on the blade 3285, or am I mistaken?

Yes, the bladed and scabbard are both marked with 3285. I have better pictures, just did not want to post a bunch.

Yes excellent TENO!!

Pics you requested---Thanks, let me know if you need more

Help me understand, If I want to sell this or any other dagger on this site, I need to be a premium member? Thanks for your help.

Yes, premium members can sell on this site. You just need to upgrade your membership.
That's an extremely nice Teno by the way.

Thanks Danny for your reply, will post this one soon.

If anyone is going to the Pomona show (CA), let me know. I'm bringing this dagger and may want to sell or trade it.

So,the best place for me to compare my TENO with others, Show of Shows or The Max show? Since I live on the west coast, I am going to pick one to go to. Just looking for best selection to buy and sell. Thanks for your help and input.

Wow, looking at the other topic about the "fake TENO s " out there, it is getting tough for people who might be interested in purchasing one. I am still serious about selling mine, just hope buyers are not frightened off. From the opinions of most you guys, you think it is legit. Of course if opinions have changed, please let me know. As always , I appreciate your views and expertise.

I'm going to the SOS, and debating on bringing my TENO. I would enjoy having fellow collectors and dealers give me their opinion on it. Just a little hesitant on transporting / flying with it. Maybe some better pictures etc. might be the same. Anyone else flying with a piece(s)?

I fly all the time with daggers from the UK to the states, I've not encountered a problem, as long as it is in your check in luggage it should be fine, I have also flown many times internally within the states with daggers and not encountered a problem.

My experience has been the same as Gary's.

Thank you Gary and John for your input, I appreciate it.

Either many were not at the SOS, or just not that popular, only 5 of these there. Plenty of them giant Teno hewers....the better ones going for 4500 to 5200. Found one Teno trumpet standard, not much else Teno.

These are the best for now Lanner. Still have it, in California

So what are you saying?? Am I missing something here???

I think he is saying he still has the dagger and is looking for an offer (I guess.....)
