Pakistan, and stainless? Rat-tail tang? (although not as critical on a knife), but for three bones, it's not bad... first it's a dagger, so it wouldn't be subjected to the kind of use that make other blades break. Stainless isn't bad on knives, depending on size...and lastly, it's very unlikely that you would ever need to draw/use it. For three bucks I would have bought it too.

Yup, Pakistan, and stainless. Do't know what kind of tang it has. So far I've used it for a letter opener and to help take the skin off an orange and it performed admirably in both functions.....Oh, and I stuck the blade and the sheath in my sock and walked around the Faire with it.. It did pretty well at that, too.

Now, will it hold an actual edge? I doubt it, but *pfeh*, who cares? It's an ornament, not a real knife, ya know?

$3 though, the only way you could have really gotten better is free.
