Are you in Tennessee, blademan?

No, i live in the EU.

Thank you for your comment, can you imagine, a picklock from the 50's which still got to have it's break-in time.

First of all, having read some sad messages about long time members having passed away recently, my condolences go out to the family &friends, wishing you strength & wisdom to make it through the hard times. Having this said, i want to share with you my latest member of the family here, a 2016 A.G.A...

Too cool! The add and the fabulous pics do it! I broke the blade on my first switch blade by pounding it with a hammer to cut a lead sinker in half,duh! :cry: Haha, what some people do with a knife, but that proofs it's just another tool. ;) I have one FB 11" stiletto-switchblade that i use as lett...

Very nice, history comes alive.

Thanks for all your comments, :) it all started with the red 9", at the age of 15 i owned a 11" red manual stiletto, i think it was German i dont know what happened to it but suddenly it was gone.. but i couldn't stop thinking about it, and almost 30 years later i did some searching on the internet,...

I see nice blades there, and indeed it must be quite a challenge to get things
over there into AUS, but you got a nice collection right there.

Nice restoration, especially the vintage pearl handles with the red dot, that combination looks great.

A nice little addition is on the way: A Tactical Bill DeShivs Leverletto (2007).
Hope they manage to get this on the mail before Christmas, would be excellent.
This one would be send from Italy, so it only takes a couple of days to arrive, as i live in Europe.

Excellent!
Always good to see how someone has developed in doing that what is in his nature to do in all excellence.

Beautiful display and knives. I love the all steel stiletto dagger(bottom next to the SF),wanted one for years. Do...
