To Tom Johnson,
Well Tom you can see (i think) that some very knowledgeable people on here have given good reason to show this blade as being a laser etched example, i sense others are holding back out of their friendship for you. Nothing in your email (which has been shown in its entirety as you requested) TECHNICALLY explains why in YOUR OPINION the etch is acid etched and not laser etched, you have avoided it with talk of who had the dagger and how long they had it. For me at least, your response was a bit of a let down which deviated away from the main topic of the blade and ended with you publicizing your books. If you can point to anything that indicates this blade as being acid etched then please feel free to email me and i will post your reply, in its entirety on this forum, but please stick to specific technical information.
Russ.
