Hi Gav
You can thank Father Christmas for those nice pieces.
Concerning the cuchilo Canario ( naife ), could you show us a close up picture of that dot engraving on the blade ?
You might as well check if there are any small marks struck on the blade back, right after the ferule, like combinations of X an I. In an early period, the smiths used to mark the blades with such symbols, representing family marks.
