So your SAdagger seems to be perfect, when the blade is like the outside of the dagger.

Yes, the hint of seany is good, but be careful. The scabbards have a iron core beneath fittings and leather and trying the magnet in the middle of a fitting may show a wrong result (from the iron core).
Try it on the eyelets but especially concerning these I am pretty sure that the scabbard has aluminium fittings as nickle silver fittings do have other formed eyelets.
