Hey Ren Ren,

Welcome to the forum. Nice post. What amazingly useful looking resource did the illustration come from?

I had often seen reference to the hole for suspension, but it is nice to see an example from a period text. It seems the blade hole is quite versatile.

Hey Josh!

Thanks for kind words!

As far as I know, the illustration has got to the Internet from the book "Connaissance du Viet-Nam" by P. Huard & M. Durand
