Hello Bill and the Gang, My EDC. Ganzo finally took a crap on me. I have to say I got my moneys worth out of this knife and hate to toss it in the junk drawer in the kitchen. Does any one know where I can get the coil spring spring for it? Also I'm sure there are a multitude of springs to choose fro...

NICE!

GREAT LOOKING KNIVES !!! What a great idea, I never saw “polished deer stag antler” I like it better then the raw stag.
Thanks for the post, nice craftsmanship.

While tang stamps are a good tool to use for identification, learning what specific knives are supposed to look like is a much better tool. Yes Bill I agree, however in my opinion the more resources you have at your finger tips the more bullets in your gun. For Example, there is a eBay listing for ...

Looks like an old imperial, maybe made in the 60's I think sammy is correct on the Imperial, I had one with yellow scales in the 70s? And the other only difference was mine was made in Ireland. I don't think they are a big dollar knife if that is what you wanted to know. Might be worth $5.00 to $20...

I know this post is a little old, however I seem to remember when you went to click on “BOARD INDEX” (at the top of the talk blade page), there were the first two rows which you could click on: The 1st was “GOOD ONES AND BAD ONES” this showed all the sellers that were trust worthy AND all the seller...

Hi Ross Definitely spanish and i love it . 8) I don't know the exact age but ill wager its 80s -90s. Its constriction is on the lines of the hellraiser knives and other spanish knives of that period. Its called "MATADOR " Automatica.... i have seen one on "Autoknifes "site with the full blade etch ...

Hi Gang, I just picked up a Spanish S.B. Does any body know the name of the maker and the age (no tang stamp)? The lock that holds the blade in the open position is a little week, you can close the blade without depressing the lock. It's a hefty little knife for it's size, about 3oz. I bought it for...

Hi Gang!
Photos are from the 1988 catalog.

Ross Not seen you posting in a while mate....glad you are okay. Is this switchblade knife from France? There were french knifemaker /distributors named fontenille pataud ..FP operating from 1893 to the present day . I cant find any switchblades by them when googled though so I am probably wrong. Ho...

Hi Jeremy,
Good to hear from ya.
About a 4.75 inch blade and just under a 6 inch handle. I think Ian might be on to something.

Hi Gang,
Any body know what "FP" stands for?
Thanks in advance!

I hear you. And by saying a knife is "spring assist", it apparently passes muster for eBay. Kinda like the good old days when eBay was a bustling source for our kind of knives. Back then they usually sold for more there than on the blade-centric auction sites, many of which are no longer with us :c...

Jeremy......... A master craftsman at work!

Hi Gang, We had a post on this about a year ago, I have been carrying a G721 every day now. GREAT Knife I don't let it get to dull I give it a couple of stroke on ceramic rods once a week if I used it a lot. It holds a edge pretty good and I can get it razor sharp. The only bitch I have about it is,...
