I have been best buddies with this guy since we were 10yrs old and are still always looking for stuff the other is after in the different hobbies we have... it's cool when you have friends that go back that far

Wicked cool 😎 do plan to restore it. I'm not entirely sure honestly... I don't want to compromise the original scales for any reason and I don't mind knives remaining completely authentic. I get annoyed when I find out something I have was cleaned or repaired without knowing it beforehand and try t...

My best friend since we were in 5th grade called me over the weekend saying he was in town for a family reunion and that his uncle had given him a couple SBs to have or sell... turned out that one was a Rosco 11" kris. He swung by on his way home yesterday and dropped it off to me and I am pretty st...

Thank you, everyone... has anyone ever seen a 33cm knife (in any style) with the F.B.R. stamp? I've seen a 12cm (topless/derby) but not 33cm. I would imagine it'd be a transitional possibly if there is one but who knows!

He wants $3300 for it. I'm sure you could talk him down to $3000. That's a fair offer for this knife. Just don't insult him with a low ball offer. Blade looks sharpened to me and I've never seen a regular Latama 33cm (not flat guard or kris) go for more than 1800, and that one was mint. The blade d...

Gonna need a little more than make me an offer. He wants $3300 for it. I'm sure you could talk him down to $3000. That's a fair offer for this knife. Just don't insult him with a low ball offer.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! These are definitely Italian made for a French importer... kind of interesting, the pick locks all have "FBR ITALY" stamps with the italicized INOX on the back, while the others all say "FBR INOX"... the 28cm is a swedge pick lock which is kind of interesting a...

F.B.R. INOX/ITALY - Façonnage Brochage Rennais (French building firm) are from the 60s and still my favorite stamp to hunt for… a couple years ago, I never thought I’d find a bayonet but since then I’ve found a 20cm and 23cm, along with some other real oddballs. Still need that damn 12cm though lol....

Beautiful set! Though I’ve never seen a Coricama kris blade in 8” or less, I can’t imagine why there wouldn’t be one (some) out there. 8” kris are found with other stamps, you’d surely think some went through Coricama. Thank you, my friend! I heard from a highly reputable source that there were lik...

Thank you, Sir!

There must be one floating around then! I have been on knife buying restriction since I bought my neighbor's house and am trying to move my mother in next door to me in a couple months, but I just won't tell her if I find an 8" Cori kris LOL

Pretty glad to accumulate this set of 23cm, 28cm and 33cm Coricama kris examples. The 33cm has a square stamped liner; first time I’ve ever seen that... has anyone ever seen a 20cm or smaller?

Thank you, everyone! I need to do more posting on here!

Buddy found this one in AZ earlier this year... same Duck stamp but the NONSTAIN on the blade was really cool I thought

Pretty sweet! I love how things constantly come out of the woodwork all these years later
