All the honor is for me my dear friend, really ! I mean, changing what was a personnal quest, into a common work, with other passionate ones, is really motivating !
For many reasons, some personnal, some in direct relation with the book, that project was a bit crazy, and probably, not made for me (am I the most qualified ? am I legitimate ? am I... etc... and what was supposed to be a "simple" listing of algerian weapons, close to E.Claude work, with some add, is now a half historical, half blacksmith view, half collectors book, some like a monster of 400pages for the moment, and still have to add many pictures... so probably unsellable but however not making it for money ).

Many times I was about to stop it, then I have a discussion with a person like you, and I say to myself "naaaah, I have to finish"
I have so many "secrets" to share with you my friends, and every line I wrote, I think about the people of this forum, the reaction and critics they would have, and this is also very motivating, so again, I really want to thank everyone here who helped in that way.

Most of you had done a much better job collecting these knives than I have, but the thread inspired me to add a simple wooden hilt one to the couple I had before.

Also a nice one!

I also got a "new" one of the long versions, a nice profiled and engraved blade IMHO.

The overview of my long ones.

That is indeed a nice example and an impressive group overall.
