Superdiz, As far as literature I will see what I can track down, my Grandmother passed last year and if you had asked before I would have taken a trip to RI and looked but since I am not sure who has what. I will look into that not just for you but because I would like some of that literature for myself and if I can get copies or duplicates I will certainly pass them along. I am glad you like the knives, to be honest my biggest concern in doing this was that the people that would be getting the knives wouldnt know the history or the meaning of these knives... From what I have seen and heard so far I could not be happier with the people that I have talked to (yourself, Danny, Sageani) have all taken an interest and shown you care. I can't thank you enough for that.
