Thanks Lew. Maybe you can address my question about a good single source for info on these?

Also, thanks for letting this one pass. You are master over your addiction. However, I am just barely hanging in the balance....

If one is found, I, likewise, would like to get a copy.
I've got several different types, with most identifications having been made here in the forum.
On some styles, with the gile' immediately coming to mind, the evolution into or from arabic/middle eastern daggers is extremely apparent, or at least amazingly coincedental and what got me hooked on them, as my "giant shibrya" was what turned out to be the gile.
