I received recently this cutlass but I`m not sure if I can be happy with it - there are three issues what concern me :
1. the blade has a somehow sqarish edge on it unlike my other model dagger which I have which are more round
2. the alcoso maker mark is very faintly stamped
3 the first inch of the blade after the ricasso has sort of a different shade into the etching on both sides
I have not much experience on those daggers so please can you give me your opinion
thanks
Helmut

100% correct, no problems with this one, the matt finish to the blade riccasso area is common on the shooting cutlasses. Everything else is standard for Alcoso.

Cheers
