Re: Gun talk forum?

twobit, the issue isn't that this is knife forum, it is that we need clarification on Italian laws.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't remember counterfeits being an issue in that timeframe.

Re: Identifying & Pricing My Father’s Collection

If you measure the length of the Godfather / Godson we will tell you which one it is.

Now for the potentially difficult news; some of those knives have been counterfeited. Do you know when they were purchased? If so, that could help confirm that they are real.

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.
