Re: Vintage Swedish Emil Olssen pocketknife

There are some well made expensive knives coming out of China now that aren't copy's. Just saying but basically I feel the same way about China as you. I understand what you mean and the Chinese can make good things too. They have some military bayonets which are interesting and good. That they ste...

Re: Vintage Swedish Emil Olssen pocketknife

Nice! As you wrote: "one of over 100 cutlery companies in Eskilstuna at the turn of the century." About 10 years ago the last company was sold and and now the they produce knives in China...

Re: Hackman Balisong

Thank you for your nice words. I really appreciate that! Yes, because of the Vietnam history it is very interesting but I still think it is ugly...:) So far it is the exception in my collection...

Hackman Balisong
