Re: Old Fish not always bad

Re: Old Fish not always bad

Was able to find this photo of a pro ported 19th century India made springer but the blade looks completely rotted (note bent tip looks ready to disintegrate).

Re: Old Fish not always bad

Thanks. I seem to remember not being able to pin the maker back when I got it. Have many more surfaced? The AKA article it was featured in was sort of trying to tie it to another knife they showed in the article.

Re: Shark45 says hello

I’ve got some nice stuff lying around. Angelo was very kind to be with some old rarities and Bill made a bunch of beautiful customs for me. I need to take new photos. Had a hard drive debacle. They will come. I like pictures too
