I will be back at home on Sunday and will try to find some clues in my books. I hope some Kindjal specialists will share their knowledge with us until then (by the way, where is Ariel's comment ?)

Thank you so much Tatyana for your kind words and help so far. I would very much appreciate any further thoughts you might have.
I'm very relieved to hear that you think I've got a good blade

Best
Gene
