As part of a thesis that I am working on regarding the Assassin's and their role in the politics of the Middle East, I am trying to find a picture or accurate drawing of one of their daggers. Supposedly (according to some sources), these were standardized, extremely well balanced for throwing or hand-to-hand, and could be quite ornate. Does anyone know where I might find this information? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
