Gotlieb, good choice I suppose. Just curiosity - how much did the seller want for it?

It was offered to me for $1000 and was finally sold for $1350.
I passed on it because I have no experience with damascus blades...

Let's make it clear. Those super rare and very expensive daggers are BIG thing even for a premium collectors worldwide. How come that some strange "nobodies" offer for sale these high end daggers? How come there is more items like these listed on that mostly-junk auction site than on all major dealers' websites in US, Canada and UK together? OK, the one Gottlieb started discussion about was tricky and worth discussion (also it was listed before other "rarities" appeared), but the rest are nothing but screaming fakes.

HI everyone
Actually I bought it SA Henckels Damascus blade dagger.Of course I did this after positive opinion from T. Wittmann.
Mrs Wittmann asked me to make professional pictures of this dagger for his brand new SA DAGGERS book.

It will be very interesting to see the pictures of these two daggers as they are presented in the new T. Wittmann SA Daggers book. I hope that they are of really good quality - with lots of close up detail for comparisons. FP
