Um.  Wow.

I hadn't paid much close attention to the site -- it was the first one that
seemed to have details on a pre-17th century kard.  I didn't notice the
context was entirely fictional (as explained at
http://home.clara.net/andywrobertson/dslnotesoncontent.html), and the
"Figiel Dagger" mentioned is actually a 19th century one from Leo Figiel's
book on Damascus steel.

Gather round and watch as lazy Google research jumps up and bites me on the
butt.

Bad Lorenz.  No biscuit.
