Hand Dag with Horn Handle
12.25" overall. Forged steel blade with fancy handle from rhinoceros horn. An unusual dag blade form. Handle mounting strategy is classic Sheffield - not for cutlery, but for tools. This piece is consistent with hand dag production as most dag blades were produced not by cutlers, but by tool makers. Likely Western Great Lakes. Circa 1850.
