Deluxe Standhauer waidbesteck - Hunting dagger set from Austria
This is a pristine hunting dagger with skinner made in Austria some 125-135 years ago.
It still has its complete gilding, the blade is minty as they come, its has crocodile leather and tons of hand engraved parts.
Its huge some 54 cm and the spine of the blade is almost 8 mm.
These standhauers normally come with a plain chrome blade, but this deluxe one has got beautiful etches.
Enjoy the pics!

It's like piece of art
I keep repeating myself ...It never ceases to amaze me the items you find and more so ...how very large the Forestry topic is.
Many people do not give enough credit and only have an idea that there were just a handful of Forestry types of Edge weapons.
Seeing the many examples and some just thought were impossible ...are possible as seen in the many threads here.
The Hunting dagger you posted above just adds and proves there are more unseen examples of artistic creation out there ...and pretty much when found are all ending up here within this sub forum.
No where else in any outside forum has the amount of content of these beautifully created pieces of art.
Nice one bro...Again !!
