Hi, John
Been awhile!
Good article. The blade on the folding knife looks a lot like a modern Exacto knife. And the shears are ubiquitous, found so often in both Roman and barbarian graves. Personal appearance must have played a large part in a man's self-esteem within all cultures; albeit, we know some Romans went to extremes. Caesar, for example. :grin:
