Gentleman
Can I get some opinions on this RZM enlisted mann's dagger.
The blade is from a unknown maker and has never been apart I am told.
All opinions will be appreciated.
thanks
Michael

The grip may be fake, based on the matte look, and contour shapes. The blade is very mint, a close up to be sure it's not laser etched would help, and a look at the tang and grip ends would also be helpful.

Don't like it. Motto too far down the blade... crossguards look bad... grip looks new...

Thanks again, I had most of the same feelings and they were all confirmed especially the upper and lower guards.
