Thank you again for the comment,
.. objects are more interesting when they have a history and a story to tell
especially these kind of objects used in wars, surrounded by great drama and intense emotions
and harsh conditions that makes them indeed fascinating.

Yes, thanks for the research, i have seen some on eBay but they are in not so good condition as this one
and to me it's a special piece because my father gave it to me who was there in the 1940's.

Thank you for the comment gravknife, in my younger days back in the 70's i painted the leather sheath with waterpaint in native american tribal colors and patterns, when playing cowboys & indians, i liked to be the indian, you can still see some red and blue, other kids had plastic daggers, i had a ...

Given to me by my late father, he knew i collected blades, so i was the most suitable candidate for this piece of history. There is a little story to it, it was taken from a captured Japanese soldier during the war in Indonesia in the 1940's my father took it home as a souvenir. He told me that ther...

Incredible piece.
Congrats.

The way the blade moves, i think it's not an issue of tight pivots or something like that, the blade moves smooth, yes i used the oil but that didn't help much, i think it has to do with the kickspring. http://images2.imagebam.com/97/97/b1/5397d8733604113.jpg It sits fairly deep compared to my other...

Thanks JulesVane, Bill DeShivs and others that replied here,it's the only piece i own with a bit weak kick, but like i said i can live with that, it's a great knife for that price, i got a 10% discount on it so i don't complain. It's not really money that mattered in this, such a great looking and b...

Thanks for quick reply, i dont live in the states so the S&H will be another thing to keep in mind and to take in consideration I hoped there was a do it yourself way to it but that's out of the question i guess :) it's one of the 70th Anniversary AGA Campolin 11" Picklock's. I love this knife, it's...

I was wondering, and search gave no results about this, is there a way to improve the kickspring so that the knife opens a bit faster? My latest acquisition is excellent all the way excep that it opens a kinda slow, the kickspring sits deep inside the handle unlike my other knifes that kick like a m...

'Tis surely a beauty! I'm running to MY mailbox to see if the MailMan left me one too, but I doubt it! lol ..only tax bills. ;) Must say i own many Italians now, and not one is the same every piece has it's unique features just like people i suppose. The build quality of this one is best of the bes...

Found this in the mail last week, something better than a tax bill: https://beta.uyl.me/lab/img.php?image=8094_1111_4851.jpg https://beta.uyl.me/lab/img.php?image=1782_2222_1d48.jpg https://beta.uyl.me/lab/img.php?image=0446_3333_6v92.jpg https://beta.uyl.me/lab/img.php?image=0308_777_xo1m.jpg https...

Yes, first of all congratulations with yours.
have made some photo's yesterday when it arrived in the mail.

update: i took the liberty of creating my own topic
i think the knife deserves it.

..can i jump in with mine 70th Anniversary AGA Campolin 11" Picklock here in this topic?

Excellent foto's, i've got shivers and goosebumps now.

I'm not sure. Yeah I have a few of these knives and can't make out who signed the certificates on any of them. These are truly fabulous knives and are of the quality promised 12+ years ago with the AGA Campolin 13" Picklocks. Those promises were not met back then, but they certainly have been now o...
