Yar. Dead serious. That, a candle, and a bag of sand were stock-in-trade.

And even back then, although they did not know it as such, they followed closely the famed Gibbs' Rule #9.

Youre torturing me. You’ve got to refer some more specific reading material to me. Read many books on the Ottomans, Turks, Muslim Spain, North African history, loads of WW1 but have not run across “G Rule 9, sneaky turtles, or candles in bags of sand. “

Sounds like you’ve got some interesting sources? Or you could just explain the above and forgo me heading blindly in doing web searches using words like “covert turtles” or Candles and bags of sand”

I will search for “G Rule 9” but you could sure spare a curious old man some time by pointing me in the right direction.

Ah, I found and do follow G Rule 9 ! However I use my blade mostly for cleaning my nails these days. Nice set of rules for future reference though

I do have access to a turtle, sand and candles. Ready for my covert mission but need a hint how to utilize these formadible tools.
