Are you speaking of those single-edged iron knives from the continent? Sounds like you're asking for a verrry specific report that may not have been written, or at least might be in German.
Are you looking for the range of styles, or how they are constructed, or distribution, or ???
I have a report on ring-hilted bronze knives, but that is pre-Celtic and probably not what you're looking for.

Yes I am speaking about these knifes

There is an excellent report from Manching that has eight pages with 88 drawings of such knifes. They range considerably in size and craftsmanship. Three of them end in a knob at the end of a straight tang. Obviously it's in German. There might be somithing in the bibliography that might help you out. My German ain't too good anymore. Hope this helps somehow.
