Hi Lee and Nando (in alphabetical order),

Please do not get me wrong.
By critisizing our logo I never meant to harm anybody of the great team whom we both luckily and happily call The Forum's Founding Fathers.

All I wished to achieve was give an impulse to think about a possible further

step ahead.

With all my very best wishes to the two of you, and filled with gratitude for helping me along so far, especially over the past two years,
Michl/Michael

There are nice old takouba out there as well going back quite a few more centuries.

Back to the original subject... this is a wonderful example of the far reaching commerce of the time and nicely illustrates the value of these blades outside of Europe.
