plot twist: I'm about to launch INOX, INC. and trademark the word and thus claim every knife with only this marking.

Re: Sharpening

Look up DMT Diamond Stones - I used to use them back in the day when I was a ski coach sharpening the edges on skis, in recent years I've been using them to sharpen the few Victorinox I carry and they work like a charm just make sure to keep 'em wet when you use them! i used to work across the stre...

Re: Honey Horn vs. French Tip?

I just picked up my first example of the new design of standard stiletto with the oval hole, which I admit is growing on me, if only a little. Figured I'd share it as I believe the scales are relevant here, although 3knives called it "French Bovine Horn" - I <think> its criteria fits with French Ti...

Re: $$$ DROP >> New Walt's 11" Swinguard Honey Blonde Half Grind Stiletto

I hope you're right - perhaps the logic is that if they wait long enough, the demand will be so high that slow-moving picklocks batswingers etc will get snapped up faster than normal (no pun intended)

Re: Unusual Latama

I saw one at the Marlboro show in MA about 4 years ago, haven't seen one since. It also happened to be kriss bladed ~ very cool knife thanks for sharing it with us!

I think the real reason people are cryptic about how much they spend on knives is in case it gets back to their wives.

Re: Heads up swingguard collectors

No non-custom modern knife is worth more than 250-300 in my opinion.

Re: AKC - Need information

Thanks for the information. Any idea of the age and value? Can these be Early AKC knives? The tang stamp is not the same as there current tang stamp. I might compare them to the current going value of the Calatana - AKC stamps are murky at best and have been terminally polluted by Asian cloners to ...

Re: Heads up swingguard collectors

Ivano, while I do not quite agree with Walt's prices, I cannot imagine that anyone could rightfully blame you or Frank, and it doesn't seem like anybody has. You do your jobs as makers and export them and that is that. Walt is the retailer and handles things as he sees fit, even if some people disag...
