UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Miscellaneous Dagger Forum Black Klass daggers, can this coincident be too much?

I can't see anyone possessing 2 grips, 1 for special occasions AND the black 1? Why don't we see more of the black gripped daggers? I contend they filled a slot, but what it was I don't have a clue....

I own some very interesting stuff that KLAAS made myself. Why they seemed to be the only or nearly only group engaged in the manufacturing of these "oddities", I can only guess.

Boils down to everyone's personal decision as to what purpose they served, in lieu of period documentation. That may be lost forever?

I still believe they served some purpose, but what, I'm not sure of.........

I'll admit to once believing they were 1st rails, but have since become skeptical and personally throw mine into the Army classification. STILL a very expensive ARMY (but in all fairness seems to be pushed, pricewise, by a bunch of rare and well conditioned Armys) and one that many people will spend their hard earned money on, including me, when it's "righteous", in my eyes anyway.....
