No problem Teodor I of course remember, and was hesitant as I placed my notes, as the contentious situation with these has remained so, and very much unresolved. Knowing that you have researched these for as many years as I, perhaps even more, I think there is room for equitable explanation as there is no edged weapon I know of produced soundly with solid components that cannot be used in various circumstances.

Grateful for the gracious response, I will also leave it there as well.
