I guess you didn't try very hard...lol

Put Molletta in the top search function and you can read all night...Page after page...
search.php?keywords=molletta

Here is a good link to start with that includes a quote from a guy that went by Lamadamas who claims to have had these made for him.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10381&hilit=Molletta

Wish I knew what happened to Hassan (Lamadamas)....He was a great source for some unique knives and always had a good supply of 2nds and fixer uppers cheap.

That' is what he was saying. I don't know if it was ever verified by any of the actual makers in Maniago.
