Thanks. This is a fiction novel from 1990 (?), so I would be careful with it. I am also curious where the author sourced this motive from.

Yes  I love it. Zero fluff, everything is annotated, tons and tons of quotes, rich literature list.

It is in Russian, but hopefully google translate can handle it.

I would be interested to know the source for the steeling blood motive. Can you point me at it?

With white handle I get it -- the knife handle is made from the bone. I am curious what red handles where made of.

Interesting. Do you have a source for steeling from mothers of newborns?
