Could these be the same knives that Powell and Surratt were playing with when Weichmann stumbled in on them in Powell's bedroom at the Surratt Boarding House?

That's my guess, Betty.

Please excuse if this has been answered before - is the knife George Atzerodt threw away in the gutter by Creaser's shoe store still around somewhere?

Thanks, Wes.
