#distracted, sorry autocorrect text....

And this is where the disconnect is, because he wasn't distracted enough to describe the design that you are pointing to as the be all, end all proof they are the same blade (in BOTH circumstances)...but he was distracted enough to not notice that very same similarity or even off-handedly comment how it looked like the blade he used to slit a man's throat. The whole book was him being angsty over the mantle and his actions, it fits right in for him to have a Vietnam flashback moment if he were holding the blade that killed Slate.
So you can't hold up the description on a pedestal and the reject that same description when he should clearly recognize it if it were Medea's Bodkin.
wizard nelson:
And this is wear you stop posting anything positive and drip you sarcastic disbelief over everything. He was distracted but described the knife from a writers perspective as to leave clue's for us the reader. I know you won't see anything you don't wanna though so by all means believe what you wish.
Jim told US it was medeas bodkin, Harry doesn't know this.

Considering none of that was sarcastic I think I shall.
Also, that same 'writers perspective' can be used to explain WHY the descriptions are similar...because they are both ancient blades, not because they are automatically the same blade.

Yeah but he would most likely recognize the look, and feel of a weapon he had previously used to kill a man.
wizard nelson:
And leaf shaped hand and bronze material but whichever.
forumghost:
Unless you can give me some proof that only a single knife with a leaf-shaped blade exists in the Dresdenverse, I'm going to assume for now that they're different.
Because like Eldest said, there is no way in hell Harry wouldn't stop to have an Angst-fest over a Knife that he used to commit a cold-blooded ritualistic murder showing up.
