I’ll have to dig out some images that I have to illustrate some of the ideas. But in the interim I’m in agreement that these daggers had a lot of handwork which is why they don’t have the look of a factory made piece. That said, some of the minor components were (relatively speaking) mass produced via casting so that they could be attached to the daggers. Or in the case of the writing/logo on the blade - done with rotary engraving like certain other daggers. FP
