Something kind of weird just occurred to me about these knives: despite their general inferior quality, they almost all seem to be in excellent condition. Am I imagining that? LOL, I've never really thought about it but you're right, I don't remember ever seeing one of these in "used" condition. I'...

I always assumed the term "card knife" came from them being sold on cards, similar to the edgemaster/shur-snap, etc. American knives.

I was wondering what it would look like restored, you did a great job of bringing it back from the "dead".

Great post, that is one of the coolest Russian AK prison type knives I've seen, looks super authentic + nicer quality, even has a swinguard Jeremy is a top notch guy in every regard, making some great knives too!

A $270 knife shouldn't have those issues--having to send multiple knives back multiple times for repairs is messed up and that ghetto safety repair is just sad. They charged you shipping to repair defective knives??

very nice group of knives, love those Medicis! Didn't know they made different sizes of the rapid one-handers.

great looking knife, I've always wanted to check those out but have never handled one. Love that blade!

there are two 5 star reviews of this knife on bladehq, both say they are impressed with the quality of the knife. https://www.bladehq.com/item--Bear-Ops- ... tic--51649

I don't know anything about this particular knife, it looks good, hopefully the quality is better than their line of butterfly knives--they are notorious for breaking.

I really like bowie style blades and would love to see a stiletto type knife with a bowie blade. I like your version above very much, especially with the guards, the only thing I would change is the bottom bolster, I think the knife would have a better appearance with a more traditional stiletto sty...

Don't see many with that H.W. Boker stamp, that's a tricky one, looks 1950's or older to me but I'm no expert. I've never heard of that german "nail nick" law--I tend to trust Bill D's knowledge on these things, he's corrected me a couple of times and was always right.

You might try JimBrown257, I don't know how busy he is these days but he's a member on here and does very nice work.

They made a NATO military marked otf with chrome bolsters and black scales, I had one until about a year ago.

Based on what you describe I would assume that it's a stock parker gypsy with engraving that was added later, pictures would be REALLY helpful. I've had/seen a bunch of different parker gypsy knives and I've never seen one with factory Hawaii, etc. engraving on it. But it's hard to say without actua...

dayum...!!! now that's a knife, fantastic piece!
