I think it was intended for showpiece purposes to be honest with you... I've seen those horse blades before and they are much more tool-like utilitarian.
You guys are silly, it's for shaving your back ;)
WOW! Gotta find me a showpiece like those - they are weapon sized! :medvl:
im kicking myself for not going deeper on that auction, at the end i refrained from hitting the one click bid after having $400 typed in. not sure if that wouldve topped your high mark anyway but man, kickin myself :gaah: just watched it end with my finger ready to pounce and never did........ IDIOT!
but an oversized congrats to you, its a nice piece to keep in a collection :D
Whoa! Awesome!

You would have won... I had to temper my aggression because of the insane laws in this state... The price I got that at was a joke. One, the scales are always trashed when you find one of these french blades, and two a lot of them have damage as a result of being in said trashed scales. I know these types in much worse shape have gone for over double what I paid.. I'll send it to mycarver eventually to max it out. I need to source a fitting box. A long silver plated box would be fantastic, but probably hard to come by exactly in the size I'd like. Need to think on that one.
I THINK my max was $226 and change
I have no doubt the whole "natural materials" thing scared a LOT of ppl who wanted to bid off because of customs and potentially losing it....
