Glossary of knife terminology - request for content.

[MDQBox]

Hi, I'm trying to compile a glossary of knife terminology and would appreciate any and all contributions. Slang terms are welcome as well.

Terms like: belly, bolster, (finger) choil, etc. and their definition(s).

Thanks.

Ricasso: the unsharpened length of blade between the bolster and edge. Or something like that.

It would be a good idea and handy to have all this information in a single pdf file :thumbup:

Per your request/suggestion, I transcribed the contents of the online A.G. Russell knife glossary into .PDF form.
