This sight shows an excallent diagram of a hollow ground chisel, on a knife both sides would be done the same way. Almost all straight razors are hollow ground.

Vagrant,

I can't find Maniago in my world atlas. Could it just be a mythical trans-shipment postoffice box operation for ChiCom knives? Anybody can stamp "Italy" on a blade.

Razor and Vagrant,

The Mongol Hordes are a tricky bunch. These could be bogus websites crafted by those commie bastards. Has anybody besides Dexter actually been there? And what do we actually know about Comrade Dexter or is it Deng or Ding or Dong or Dang? Or Wong or Wang or Wing or.........................

Mr. The Falcon,

I know where Pasadena is, it's that place where the little old lady is from. I hear Maniago is somewhere near Venice, or not too far from there. Whatever the case may be, it's certainly nowhere near Pasadena, or Mt. Zoomie. I'm trying to get the Italian community up here to sponser me a trip to Italy, but they don't want to spend their dollar. I'll go bug the Germans.

Best Regard's

Falcon,

I have seen Maniago on maps of Italy. It is in the northeast part of the country. There is a short video of Maniago and a live webcam on a website. I am not sure which one, but I believe it is either Switch67's, or DesMort's website. I may be travellng to Milan on business in a few months. If so, I plan to take a short vacation to the stiketto motherland.

Maniago, my nice little town, exists.

A web site containing some information is this:

http://www.maniaghesi.it/

(but it's in Italian language)

A webcam of the main square is here:

You can even chat with a local, Fabrizio, from this page, if he's online.
