Nice haul Claudester
On the bottom in different spots there are 4 knives one with a Kriss,from the picture it looks like they are all steel including the scales which I don't believe to be true. Are they light grey acrylic?

PB,
No, theres no steel ones. I should have taken a couple of pics cause it dozen't fit in the frame to well. The blades your'e seeing might be those multi
color marble, There arn't any grey. My favs are the 9" snakewood and any stag. I forgot to take a pic of my light honey horn, I take one more and maybe it will be clearer.

Thanks Guys,
I've had this sony digital camera for about 5 years and I still can't get the closeups that I would like. Its funny, while I was taking the pics of the blades my wife asked me, ( do you think you have spent $200.00 for those knives and I answered: I THINK its just under that my dear.) WHewwwwww! Better
go now, I'm taking her out for lunch. She forgets about everything then.

Hey, can I come over and vacuum your rug?

Seriously nice collection!

Mr. BlackJack,
I have never placed a order through any of the mfgs. I have gotten all my blades through 3 or 4 dealers here in the states. I'm saving up some dollars
to place an order for a bunch of non-auto stilettos that I have a hard time finding anywhere. that will be my first order going overseas. And sinse their not autos there isn't any hassles getting them.

I have to admit seeing all those dagger blades has got me thinking, up until know I have been a strict bayonet blade man but all yours look really cool, its also got me thinking about kicking in the extra for the wood handle and the brass bolsters.

Blackjack,

Get the Dagger blade from AB, I have quite a few and they are beautiful.
The brass bolsters require a bit of work keeping polished but are pretty when they are. The stainless bolsters are quite nice, too. Very shiny.
