Celtic knifes-swords ring hilt end

[Lugorix]

There is an excellent report from Manching that has eight pages with 88 drawings of such knifes. They range considerably in size and craftsmanship. Three of them end in a knob at the end of a straight tang. Obviously it's in German. There might be somithing in the bibliography that might help you out. My German ain't too good anymore. Hope this helps somehow.
