FS dagger

KnightWarrior,

In 2002 ESA was importing the WS daggers but the quality was extremely poor. I bought one of them and it was this that was returned to WS resulting in them building the one I have now. Due to the British Knife Act (yes a knife law) they were prohibited from making real daggers. This act it also what led up to WS ceasing all knife production. They agreed to make mine since it was a "return" to a customer and not a production knife to be sold. They also required there be small changes to the blade etchings to protect collectors.
