Yikes!!!
This is getting to the "....now THIS is a knife" !!! syndrome

-Croc Dundee

Excellent entries, discussion and fantastic images. Interesting to see how these side rings developed along with fighting techniques, and how more complex hilts evolved (i.e, rapiers and baskets).

Great hilt there Ibrahiim!! and again thank you for the art and images.

Jasper, thank you for the insight into development of these rings, and I concur as well.
