			Before I retired a few years ago I had a job that allowed me to travel all over the world.  I tried to pick up a knife or sword wherever I went, and in some cases received them as gifts from business associates. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I consider the items souvenirs, not collector's items, and am just trying to learn a little about them now that I have the time. This forum is proving to be a great place to do that. Thank you for sharing your expertise!  |
