Up until the pandemic, I was staffed and doing the weekly flights to and from the Boston area for several years. I learned that there, St. Patricks Day is not celebrated for a day, but for about 2 weeks!
John (and others) - any St Patricks Day stories?

Re: How many times a week you give your collection a look?
"Flickin while Clickin" :D :D I do sort of the same thing. Typically I have 1 - 3 from my collection on my desk at any time and rotate every few days or so. I have been working from home since the start of the pandemic so I spend a good bit of time at my desk. Right now my desk is adorned with a Pro...

Re: Sharper Deals auction site gone?
That's a great point, Chris. A search there can answer a wide variety of switchblade related questions (as can a search here).

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

For truly handmade examples, don't forget about the Sardinian makers.

Re: Identifying & Pricing My Father’s Collection
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 need help identifying and aging a Stiletto.

Re: C Jul Herbertz switchblade
The last time I was in Switzerland, a few years ago, it seemed that Swiss Army knives were for sale in every retail establishment of every kind. Thanks Matt for the info on Swiss laws, which explains why I never saw one switchblade. Interesting that the knife laws are so restrictive given the legend...

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.
I bought a Launch 8 a few years ago because I like the look. It is a nice, well made knife with cpm154 steel. Kershaw, in my opinion, does a good job of providing USA made automatic knives at a low price point. There are a few concessions for the lower price such as cheap plastic buttons, but they f...
