New Knives
My two new knives. One is a 10” Campolin picklock I just got from 3 Knives, the other is no name knife (from Mexico maybe), but I thought the Damascus was cool.

Re: New Knives
Thanks for posting! I really like the AGA. That is a nice knife!
Re: New Knives
Love the 10" picklock. I'm pretty sure 2014 was the year snakewood was last offered on the 10" picklocks and 11"/13" flatguards.

Re: New Knives
Wow, that's interesting. The video Angelo added to advertise that snakewood piece was stamped 2014. I figured it was the exact one you bought. I didn't realize snakewood was an option in 2016.

Re: New Knives
Is the square hole in the locking tab a sure sign of China manufacture?
Re: New Knives
I kinda figured (about the china knife) by the build quality (or lack there-of). I heard that a lot of these came in via Mexico in years past (not sure how true that is). The price was right and I just really liked something about the look of the blade. Not my "prized possession," but a good knife to play with so I do not wear out the good ones.
Re: New Knives
The blade looks like Damascus steel, but likely isn't given the background of the knife. Real Damascus is considerably more expensive than typical steel used in stilettos.

Re: New Knives
Yes Jim is correct. That is look a like Damascus
Re: New Knives
There is lots of modern damascus out there and not too expensive.
Check Ebay for Damascus knife blade. Most of it comes from India or Pakistan.

Re: New Knives
Look down the spine of the "damascus" blade. If you can see what looks like layers, it's probably real. If smooth or no character, probably an etch. IMHO. Taz
