Thats a wonderful collection you have shared .

I love the different scale materials and button materiasl ,they look so great in group shots like this .All quality knives .

Wish it was my collection i'd be proud of it .

Thanks for the look and great pics .

All the du bois knives shown are beautiful .

I particularly like the leverlock fastr19 posted but i'm not choosy and would have loved one example of any knife shown here .

Rarely see these for sale ,and never saw one this side of the pond as I would have bought it .

Twobit Not sure what the sheath is crafted from Luke ,definitely not a croc ,more likely camel or goat skin. Dont think they are brave enough to skin hippos ,crazy beasts . :) Its an unusual combat knife for sure ,not seen many come up for aale but its really well made and carbon bladed ,could be ma...

I believe it is an Egyptian commando dagger ,probably from the 60s or 70s but I cant find much about it .
It came complete with bloody sheath and is quite wide for a combat knife ,more like a spear tip .than a dagger .

Chris... love that abalone example you posted ,layered or not it really is a stunning scale material on these knives ,just looks great . Billyfish would have love...

Super knives Tom

Really love the scale materials on all of them ,a knife made by your own hand makes it that bit extra special ,wish I had that talent .
Thanks so much for sharing your endeavours mate ,has brightned up a rainy English morning while im having a coffee .

Hope your well .

Does the same apply to mother of pearl ?
I have a couple of old victorian and Edwardian fruit knives and it looks like 1 solid piece .

Made me laugh boots .

Bill I would name and engrave it the "Phuk U bak " and also a hand giving the middle finger.

Got to keep up these cultural relations .

I agree Terry ,some really nice knives and many that are new to me aswell .
Great collection LaneLander..

porkchop I have also pondered over the number stamps on italians . I have a knife marked 2 ,seen a stag stamped 4 and now your examples are marked 6. I wondered if it was a mark to denote scale material for a particular knife . Are your scales materials the same on your two examples ? Can you post a...

Beautiful collections and knives shown by all here .Would be proud of them .
Really wish I could have snagged a Presto or any American examples back in the day .

Thanks for sharing them.

LaneLander Hope I have understood this correctly ,apologies if not . If the knife just fires open without pressing the button ,the sear pin could be badly worn and not fitting the hole properly . However it could be a few things ,rocker assembly moved or twisted ,dirt in the blade hole where the pin...
