Before this thread takes its place in the 'archives' I'd like to thank Gav, Dom and Jens for responding here, and hope that Dmitry will continue posting items for discussion. Although there are a few of us who will spend time researching and offer observations and notes, it is good to see that the lurkers are getting some helpful information
With our small cadre of responders here came in with 9 posts, look at the lurking tally.....423 views so far!!!!
While surprised that our lurking community has so little to offer as far as contributions, comments or examples on these interesting daggers, it is clear the interest is there, so I hope the thread will serve well to those who use the search feature.
