Jim, yes, of course, Eisenhauer simply means "iron cutter" . The same term was emploied by other countries. I know for a fact that some Italian blades are marked TAGLIAFERRO (sometimes in two words TAGLIA FERRO) which means the same thing. I was told that these blades were actually tested by cutting in two a real iron spike. Ah, the good old days when such claims were actually backed up by facts.
Flavio, it is a pleasure to know that one of my swords has found such a warm and loving home in Italy.....
