What makes a Honor Dagger a Honor Dagger ?
I am not trying to be a "wise guy" here boys.

To me, if you there is not a Honor Blade on
a dagger, I don't consider it a "Honor Dagger".

In Wittmann's book he gives us a guide line to which to go by. So, if the blade has the "Oak Sprugs" framing the motto, that is considered an "Honor Blade".
I see no evidence of that in this dagger blade. Damascus or not.
And I am not suggesting that "Sterling" has got a "parts dagger" or anything like that. Anyone who had dealings with him knows he's one of the best.
What I am suggesting it just a question. And please just show us the evidence of what makes this dagger a "Honor Dagger".
And just because someone might buy this dagger
today for 40K doesn't mean that it's a Honor Dagger. If in MY opinion it was a "Honor Dagger" I would have made a call to Sterling and it would be now "On Hold". But that is just me. Maybe I'm all wrong...Maybe the actual blades are NOT as important as I always thought. Confused
But until then...I see a very interesting SS dagger with Honor crossguards and a Honor scabbard with a ground Rohm standard blade...
