I just bought a new digital camera and thought I'd try it out on my favorite knife. Ken

Hey, good pics, and what a sweet looking kris .How can anybody not like kris blades when there are such things of beauty like this around.

Cheers the spotlight kid.

Ken,

Thanks for the photo of such a legendary switch. It appears from the picture that the locking pin hole in the blade is open all the way to the side of the tang. Am I seeing this correctly?

You are correct. The entire mechanism is different from a traditional stiletto. Ken

Great knife....Any chances of you selling it???

No chance, but you wouldn't believe what I've been offered for it! Ken

Ken,

Given its rarity, I suppose you have had offers so high that they had to be quoted in scientific notation.

Maybe not quite that high, but a lot more than I would ever pay for a knife without hitting the lottery! Ken

Mr. Autoknife, what kind of camera did you buy? I am in the market for one that will take good close-up shots like you posted. What is the camera megapixel count and what setting did you use for your cool switch pix? Thanks

I bought an Olympus C4040, they take great pictures. Ken

Razor,

If your uncle's knives are like Ken's (square button Latamas), you should insure that he is aware of just how rare and valuable they are.
