Sometimes when I watch Forged in Fire I feel so stupid. I have seen and may even have antique examples of what the smiths are to make - but I never recall having heard the terminology before. While attempting to clear some of the accumulations of modern life in my attic I have found - buried in a stack of old magazines - an important reference to ethnographic arms in popular American culture - the Atlanta Cutlery catalog for 1996!
Peripherally relevant to this thread, here are listings for the noisy navaja! |

A rather opportune entry, Lee.
... And a very 'romantic' means to expose the carraca noise saga; not without a pretty fair dosis of realism, though. Thanks for sharing that paper. |

Here is one I picked up from an "Artes de Toledo" shop in Catalonia about 15 years ago which is a dead ringer in dimensions and weight etc. to the first illustration in Lee`s Atlanta Cutlery catalogue.
