Chechen Weapons
Found a great site on Chechen Weapons - especially edged weapons.
Unfortunatly it is in Russian. I used www.worldlingo.com to translate. From what I was able to gather the Chechens were very serious about their blades. There were legends/stories of blades easily cutting through guns, armour, other blades and earth/ground(hard to understand from the translation - maybe stone). Quote:
I would like to have read more at this site but in some cases www.worldlingo.com would only translate the first few pages of some of the sections. Anyone know of a better transalor? I found this one via babelfish.com Also their swords are refered to as cartridges and the sword makers as gunsmiths - I think this is a limit of the translation software perhaps some of our native Russian speakers will clear this up.

Try: http://babelfish.altavista.com
It seemed to work ok on one of the paragraphs I plugged into it.
