Thanks Tom. Yes, full length tangs. Sometimes my thoughts get ahead of my fingers

morningstar -- Laban_Tayo makes mention above of "pinutes." Is the correct spelling pinute or pinuti, and how does the correct term translate into English?

Ian.

sorry, mis-spelling on my part.
its pinuti.
means white metal, or shiny metal.
also can be a generic term for long thin blades.

Thanks Shelley. That's three for three on "white" or shiny, which sort of made sense, but I like the alternative "long thin blade" as a descriptor for knives and swords.
