Because of the narrow drop point blade, I thought the top of the image a narrow drop point blade would be? I also thought that a drop-point blade is a standard blade? Can you enlighten me. With the word "normal" was my fault excuse. No, I think the confusion about the blade-type name might have bee...

the 1998 stands for a '98 vette I used to own. I figured it was probably something like that. Your right, I think the one with red scales in the picture is a Taiwanese one. It really isn't too bad for a cheapie; that is definitely not a sign of Chinese construction. And the scales are kind of trans...

His first post says standard but the second says drop point but shows a picture of a standard blade so I wasn't sure what he meant.

Also, I meant to say the two pullers I linked to had "clip point" blades, not drop point blades.

You're in Germany? This might be your lucky day. I found these two on the Knife Shop: http://www.knifeshop.com/shop/USER_ARTIKEL_HANDLING_AUFRUF.php?darstellen=1&Kategorie_ID=235&Ziel_ID=1870&anzeigen_ab=0&sort=&order=&PEPPERSESS=6b239b498d4766f1ed5e4e5bba08c89f http://www.knifeshop.com/shop/USER_AR...

There have been several of those on the Sharper Deals auction site in the last few weeks. If you have checked that site out, here is a link: http://www.sharperdeals.net/index.php I'm not sure what a good price would be but you should be able to get one for a pretty reasonable price. I you keep an ey...

The Taiwanese versions I bought a few years back are much better made. 1) Now that I think about it, the one in the picture might be a Taiwanese knockoff. Are there any ways to tell the Chinese from Taiwanese (I mean the knives)? 2) Welcome to the board JDP1998. Normally I don't try to involve myse...

The springs on the Chinese ones snap quickly. Also the bolsters are really flat. Those Chinese knockoff actually aren't too bad for $15. They do snap pretty well. But when you say the bolsters are "really flat", you mean they are thin, right? I have a few Chitalians and they all have rounded bolste...

Are you saying it says 'Italy' on one side and 'China' on the other? That's pretty funny if it does. Mr. JB, You don't really [/i] believe that's what he's saying, do you? I knew I had actually seen a knife that was stamped "USA" on one side and "China" on the other before. I finally found it; it's...

I know someone who bought an old, but still nice, briefcase and cut the top out (like an inch from each edge) and installed a piece of plexiglass (it might have been real glass). It actually looked pretty cool.

Nice Mik!

I've seen that kind of blade on Mikovs before; can someone tell me what it's called (the blade-type, not the filework)?

Also, does anyone know what the "GIC" on the tang indicates?

Tydy, Thanks dude! That was me that asked about the "Black Dagger" auto-retracting sheath. It was the first question I ever asked here; in fact, asking about that knife was the reason I sought out this forum. Here's the thread: http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19400&p=233428#p233428 I s...

I kind of figured it was a Lightning but I am not "up" on the cheap sh*t. Actually, it's not the Lightning that is the knockoff of the Scarab but the Rumble. I don't know if that was a Rumble, however; I think that might a different Scarab knockoff. That one makes a much different sound than the Ru...

He responded, "No, better. They are real Hong Kong!" These guys really think their knock-offs are superior. I think it is their way of justifying a despicable practice. I can't tell you how many times I've overheard something like this: "Wow, is that a real Hong Kong handbag?" "No, it's just some l...

I did not know it was a stiletto because I thought stilettos were front-opening knives LOL, and until I joined this forum Where does this extremely common misconception originate? The first discussion I took part in when I found TB was about having an employee/owner at a knife store tell you that t...
