Carter's Cutlery Commentaries 

On the following pages we will bring to you random writings and thoughts from our good friend Carter Rila. Carter has been collecting and researching militaria for a good many years and has broken ground for many of us that follow in his foot steps. We feel privileged to bring his thoughts on Cutlery and Edged Tools to you here. This is the only place on the net you will find this information!
