SA Dagger For Review

[cornernotch]

The dagger is still in the mail. The fittings look like the early nickel silver type to me. I'll post a few close ups when it arrives. This is the hewer that also came from the same source.

This RAD is an attractive piece, no doubt, though it looks to me like the scabbard body has been repainted and the entire set -- hewer and scabbard -- have been gone over to remove scratches. The hanger is a nice addition, but it does make the hewer and scabbard look the more obviously retouched, given it's roughness when compared with the smooth, like-new condition of the set otherwise, whether or not it is original to the set.

These are some pictures I have taken. Does the scabbard finish look correct? I'm concerned about it. Thanks

The scabbard finish looks in very nice & origional condition to me, the scabbard fittings & screws look great as well, overall a lovely early SA

Hi John,

The scabbard finish looks fantastic, as do the nickel fittings and the pristine tip ball! Wish any of my SA M-33s were in the condition of this piece. Cheers, my friend, and happy holidays!

Once again, great looking Sauer! I have one in great shape like this one too, these guys made a quality dagger that held up very well, I think the lacquer these guys used really protected the scabbard anodizing!..here it is for comparison..

By the way, what is the maker on the RAD? Kevin.

The hewer is by E.D. Wusthof. Any other opinions about the hewer?

Hi Mac 66,

Thanks for the comment. I had a feeling some would like it. The asking price on this hewer is $1,250. I'm not sure if that is a decent price or not. I see these priced all over the place on dealer websites.
