All the du bois knives shown are beautiful .
I particularly like the leverlock fastr19 posted but i'm not choosy and would have loved one example of any knife shown here .
Rarely see these for sale ,and never saw one this side of the pond as I would have bought it .

I believe it is an Egyptian commando dagger ,probably from the 60s or 70s but I cant find much about it .
It came complete with bloody sheath and is quite wide for a combat knife ,more like a spear tip .than a dagger .
Heres some better images of it .

Does the same apply to mother of pearl ?

Re: tang stamp "6"
porkchop I have also pondered over the number stamps on italians . I have a knife marked 2 ,seen a stag stamped 4 and now your examples are marked 6. I wondered if it was a mark to denote scale material for a particular knife . Are your scales materials the same on your two examples ? Can you post a...

Re: Switchblade Identification help INOX
Very nice knife LaneLander 8) The blade could do with a bit of shaping and touching up carefully ,and the horn scales would polish up very well ,but that is owners choice . .Some people leave them be .My picklock example needed some blade work ,and the top scale had been pryed off when I got it ,the...
