Preachere Is that a nazi SS dagger with the black wooden handle? What maker is as thats a fairly rare and valuable knife . Its one of my dream German knives ,and the SA daggers look in lovely condition aswell .Would like to know the makers or RZM marks on them and if the Rohm inscription survived th...

Id gladly pay 200 dollars for those 2 and just lately anyth...

Thats one cool knife hdc.
Great work rescuing this Bill .
i really like these japanese shellpullers and have been scanning for them since learning of 5

No barb
Hes not mine unfortunately.
He's in France and its weird as ive never seen a knife like this after 30 years collecting....then suddenly up pops Horace.
I found him whilst i was searching for switches,he,s still for sale i think..just thought id let you have a look.

Hdc
I am not positive but i think this could be a japanese shellpuller from the 50s 60s.
One was used in an undwerwater scene in Godzilla the movie.
It was discussed in a topic some time ago type in "Godzilla" and i believe the knife was panzerfausts.

Ive just found Hectors long lost brother .....Horace .He too was lurking on a well known auction site and i thought youd like a look.
This one has old redeye ,too much weed or jealous of the relationship of your Hector and abby.
All the best

Dave These are beautiful knives mate and in every style from finnish to japanese and a beautiful couple of hunting knives . Thanks for sharing these Dave this bloke can really work with steel ,its hard enough staying in a comfort zone you are used to ,but he his making many styles with different gri...

Barshoo You may find this strange but i quite like this knife. It looks like an african fetish type knife,used by sticking into statues to curse enemies and with its japanese take on things will become collectable in the future no doubt. Ive never seen another Barb but i can see what drew you to it ...

Dave Id be happy to help you if you wish to learn more about the japanese sword but my few years study of ww2 blades is beginner/entry level at best . Samurai swords are the japanese pinching the ideas of others (China and phillipines )and honing them to perfection over a 1200 year period. Entry lev...

barshoo Great to meet you ,and thanks for looking and commenting on my knives,its really good of you. Now im intrigued to see this "ugly " knife youve found :) ...hope you get chance to post it. When posting pics...... I always use my phone barshoo.Take a picture of the knife with the phone camera ,...

Happy Birthday TRYKER!
All the best and hope you have many more my freind.

Dave This is a really lovely knife in the style of a japanese aikuchi dagger. These were carried by people in japan hidden in sleeves for protection ,and in places where swords had to be removed totally. This i have to say looks more usable ,and rugged than a polished antique and i love the shape an...

Thanks AMDAZ ,eddymunster Im going to check the springs seated properly as its powerful and try and seat the sear better with a few light taps . Ill probably keep the knife as it is and go on hunting for the elusive full bladed example ,but ill bet most are in collections over the world,as this knif...

Josh Welcome mate. This is a lovely" transitional knife " as Bill said dates 60s to 70s.Its name means changing from picklock to swivel bolster but retaining the traits and quality of the earlier picklock knives. These are fairly rare and i really like them as they fire hard and fast have a real fee...

This is the knife that is responsible for my current switchblade fascination. I have been looking for a minty example but to no avail so when this cheap worn one was offerred i decided to have a punt and got it for 35 euros 8 It was the blade stamp that drew me in as its one i hadnt seen whilst look...
