Thanks, Double-O.
Did you know that 'bouble-O' was the name of the small hollow-punch used by old sheffield cutlers to puch out washers from latten (a brass alloy)? So-called because it was an 'O' within an 'O' - it punched out the washer and the pin hole at the same time.
Regards,

Neil, where in the world did you find that information?!! I spent hours scouring the internet and found very little in the way of comprehesive information. I'm speechless.

It is with great displeasure that I report a tragedy of tragedies in the hopes that I might warn any potentially 'butter-fingered' soul of experiencing the same mournful loss that I am at this moment.
Always, never, fondle your 170 year old blade 5 ft. above concrete when showing your prized possession to others. As in my case, it may slip ever so stealthly from your hand in a downward, pitiful, magnetic vector to the unforgiving ground below yeilding an unforgettable 'ping' of a most decided separation of blade from tang. Woe is me.

Well, I would say don't send cards or flowers, just $ to replace it; however, it only cost me $5 at a flea market......kinda' impossible to replace it anyway. Oh well. I keep telling myself, it's just crap. Everything's crap. Get over it. I'm getting there.....

A LOT of tequila and you'll forget all about it for a while anyway.
