Re: Boker Kalashnikov Slim

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tDCHh99TXl4 Had no idea they did these. Anybody have one? How is it? Looks like the button protrudes a bit on these. Seems like these kind would need a safety unlike the standard ones where the button is more recessed. I agree about the button! A friend of mine brought...

Re: New Boker Kalashnikov OTF

I'm guessing these are made in Taiwan like the other Kalashnikovs? But Grindworx doesn't mention this! If they were made in Germany, THEN I would seriously consider one!

"Himalayan Abominable Yeti Automatic Stiletto"

Wow, gotta give them credit for a cool name! (I guess China is kinda close to the Himalayas! Closer than my house in Ohio, anyways! :D )

Re: What's your fav non Italian auto?

Always liked the Boker Speedlock/Top Lock!

I think that was my first "useful" (i.e. not a Rizzy/novelty) auto knife. :!:

Re: Have there been any updates on this AGA knife?

If you're using your phone, I downloaded an Android app called "Photo and Picture Resizer" for this very purpose! I'm guessing Apple store would have similar "Resizing" app, too!

If you're using a laptop/desktop, I would recommend free to download Irfanview software!

Best regards,

Re: 1960's OTF Italian Trap Door stiletto

I'm picturing Metalgod's living room full of ultra rare Italian knives, next to a couple of Stradivarius violins, an original Van Gogh painting, some unpublished Da Vinci notebooks.... :D :D

Re: Asian knife?

I remember buying a mail order flat button kit version of the e-Bay knife around 1985 or so. As I recall, the spring came in a separate envelope with a note that said "Due to certain Federal laws, we are shipping this separately"! Spring just slid in, I was clicking in no time!

Re: Boker Kalashnikov Damascus?

It arrived! You all were correct! I love it! :D

P.S. Grindworx is having a sale on Boker Kalashnikovs this week if anyone is interested! (BTW, I don't have any connections to GW, just a happy customer.)

Bug bites?

Hello, I apologize in advance for the newbie question, but what exactly is the cause of "bug bites" on horn scales? Is it just a flaw in the material? Or are there actual bugs that enjoy munching on vintage stiletto scales? (Like the moths that chomp on my wife's wool sweaters, I'm guessing they onl...
