Thanks,i'm pretty stoked.....I have a hanger coming,was part of the deal...Not sure what type,but I'll be happy with anything at this point.Ihaven't been able to find a good hanger referance,anyone point me in the right direction?/ As usual there sems to be many variations. I know the vertical is most desirable??

Congrats on a nice early dagger and you should be stoked! I think Lakeside Trader has info on vertical hangers and he sells them as well.

Yes,the scabbard is nice,has a cool wear spot where you can see that it rubbed against a pant leg it seems.

The wear spot is from the verticla hanger. Many Hammersfar's have these same characteristics.

Makes sense...What is the price range for a verticle hanger for an SS dagger??

$300-$400 should get you a nice one without dry-rotted leather or excessive wear.

I measured the blade today,it is 216 mm with the crossguards in place,and the motto is 22 mm down also with guards in place.My understanding is the blade should be 220,+/- 2mm,and the motto 25 mm.Does the blade set a few mm in the crossguard? I don't want to take the dagger apart,but would like to know my blade/motto is good.Thank you,Lenny

I remeasured my dagger,blade came in at 219mm,motto at 25mm.The ruler I was using had a small tab at the beginning before the actual measuring area started,that threw me off....
