Hi Espada!!!
Interesting query, and I just noticed it. It sounds like you have something specific in mind, can you add more? Is it on a particular example?
If it is on a dirk or skean dubh, perhaps the articles by Forman or others might have detail....if it is on Bowies from Sheffield then of course the excellent book by Norm Flayderman might have some detail.
I'll see if I can find my Levine's and hopefully in the meantime somebody out there might respond with an answer.

All the best,
Jim
