I wouldn't screw around with conversions. There are some nice Italian stilettos on the internet. Check out the practical tactical sub forum. They have a nice thread about the Sicilian blade. It has alot about St. Michael and the religous/spiritual aspect of knives. I have a few post there about the North End, St. Michael's medals from St. Leonards, knives, prayers to protect ourselves, a guy with St. Michaels custom cufflinks that I met in Las vegas, etc. The posts get into knife fighting,Sicilian customs regarding knives, and the most important, protecting the Catholic church from its enemies.
