Re: What are you reading?
Swords and Hilt Weapons, by Peter Connolly and seven other authors.
It's pretty good, but I'm disappointed it repeats a myth: that if a Gurkha unsheathes their khukuri, it will be used to draw blood, even if that means their own. Utter bullshit, on par with saying if a Swiss unfolds their pocketknife, it will be used to draw blood.
You'd think experts in blade history would know better, but oh well.
