Original Item: One-of-a-kind. This is truly wicked: a very curved early 19th century assassin’s dagger. Slim steeply curved 13" blade with the inside edge fully sharpened. The outside edge only sharpened about two thirds of the way up from the point. Clearly intended for use by approaching the victim from behind.

The shape of the silver hilt, profusely engraved, is very similar to the hilt of the Cossack

Shashqua sabers that also come without knuckle bow.

A compelling dagger that sends shivers up your spine.
