My ww2 samurai sword by yoshihara kuniie.

How much is a dark horn akc tanto with the discount, love your damascus mikov, but spent a lot this Christmas.

These are both beautiful knives,what size are they? I mean length and thickness , love the blade shape and etching.

Hubertus shellpuller Bill, I'm trying to create a shellpuller like yours, I'm using a needle file and the pin is in the way, to make things worse it was a short pin to begin with the majority on the leverside.

Thanks Ian

Sorry about picture but this is the colour and look, from old knife I made.

It's better to ask I thought before staining anything like this while still attached to the knife. Firstly are new hubertus still real horn? Is there a way to enhance dull horn,without removing the handles first? I have a hubertus but I'm a little disappointed in the horn just wanted it slightly dar...

How much to make one like this Bill?
Im after a Johnny Cade switch (bet you've never heard that before:)) but my country is an Ahole regarding knives, except when eating dinner.

Thanks viking 45, it's a bigger knife than my wiedmansheil I posted a few days ago These are my favourite scales are they stag or bone stained? Been drooling for months at the various German switches especially the infamous johnny cades solingen knife and glad to be on here...a great place where you...

Anyone know any information on Wingen regarding switchblades,love to know the age of this one marked with A.Wingen jr, solingen Germany, and othello on the rear plus man's head. It's had a working life, but fires up nice tiny bit of play in the blade, but I'm leaving as is. The liners are silver col...
