I have a couple of those as i'm from Greece but i have cheaper versions...Good thing is they are all full tang..If you post a photo of the inscription i can translate the "Mantinada" on the knife for you..Usually the write stuff about the lads of Crete and how lovable is the island.... One of mine reads: "Crete that gives birth to men, oh glorious Crete, for you every Cretan knows to live and die by" and the Second reads "Oh Crete, you never stood on your knees for no one, and all your enemies that have touched you, they paid it with their blood"....Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625692622482813571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793387715625734345.post-14938646387063874722011-05-24T22:47:41.672-07:002011-05-24T22:47:41.672-07:00Thanks for the comment, Le Loup.
