this dagger is $1650.00 , would anyone think it's worth the money?, the rest is in reasonably decent shape but someone took a grind wheel to the blade. I say the dagger is more like $1400.00, does anyone agree?

The money is in the blade! Doesn't look like $1400 to me.

looks like $500 to me. Blade looks badly sharpened and polished. If the handle, scabbard and cross guards are nice maybe a little bit more but not much. Just my opinion. $1400 is absurd.

Yeah, $500 is more like it in my opinion too!

I agree, the money is in the blade but it would depend on what the rest of the dagger looks like before you could give a personal opinion on what you think it's worth.

... and welcome to the forum sheek123.

It's a shame, that blade is history, I was able to bring back a pitted one a couple of years ago, but that one is just destroyed.

hey thanks for all of the replies, i am pretty new to collecting this stuff and i was feeling heart broken for not buying it but something tells me that if i wait , i'l get what i want. I bought a nice sa dagger a week ago and also a few weeks earlier i picked up a alright nskk dagger , but now i'm on the hunt for a nice ss dagger, once i have that , i'l be happy.....................for now. thanks everyone.

Yes wait for a better one and you won't be sorry.

That is probably no where near a $1400 dagger. With a blade like that, it is in very poor condition.

It is only worth what you could get if you took it apart and sold the bits. If they in the same shape as the blade, you'd be lucky to get $500.

Save your money !

Two daggers in a few weeks is a pretty good start. Keep looking and you'll find what you want.

Have you considered attending the MAX show this year?

yes, but i have a kid on the way right in that time frame so it's a no go. Although i'd love to attend to one, i've never been but i heard that one can find some pretty good deals there!

I am new to this hobby also,but I dont think you will stop once you get that SS dagger, its always something else on the horizon that will catch your eye,its like when I brought my daughter to her first Red Sox game, I told her she will hate me for it someday,once addicted always addicted ; )
such heartbreak sometimes.Like seeing that ruined SS blade

Boston Bean...Welcome to the Forum, theres a lot of good info on here and a bunch of great guys.Being from Boston i can see how you can relate to heartbreak, just kidding ... What is the story with that team, one minute they look great and the next ?

well, i'll be happy....................for now.

Take your time Sheek, They are out there.

Thanks for the welcome Earl, I have been learning an incrediable amount of information from you many generous people, I always read ten times more than I post espicially when I am new, not sure whats up with the sox but we sure are plaged with injuries and the "Million Dollar Baby" Manny isnt helping things with all his whining,I hear he is making comments about wanting to play for the Stankies, figures, thanks again for the welcome

He should have just stayed in cleveland. We didn't have media pervasive enough for him to whine to every day.

Welcome, and you're right about always wanting "one more".

Hi Boston Bean,

There's enough whiners in pinstripes already, you keep Manny
