[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3751269, member: 112"]Yeah, you're correct, what he illustrates is the same method I've always seen drawn and described. My mistake was in not correctly recognizing the word you used, castaing. For whatever reason I was thinking that word referred to something else. And yes, I'm aware and always have been aware, that he says the edge was applied before striking. But to the best of my recollection, all of the other books and articles on the subject that I've read say it was done after striking. But as I've already said, it's possible I'm remembering incorrectly which is why I asked for someone to quote Gilboy, another recognized authority on the subject. It's certainly common for "experts" to disagree on things like this. And I'm also certainly aware that what is said in various books and articles, and repeated for decades and sometimes a century or more in various sources, is also proven wrong at a later date. My sole desire is for the information to be posted.[/QUOTE]
