Atlantia, You have remote powers, Thanks for assisting a blind dummy.

Salaams archer... and Atlantia ... great posts. Blades are a great study area. I have seen both bonded two piece blades and the one more commonly associated as "Omani" by definition which appears folded but joined as one piece at the ridge. I need to look at the research more to define when all this started happening.
