Found a couple nice ones today at the OKCA show in Eugene OR...
25cm Colt CEM fish with a bail and a 23cm Mauro Mario kris blade. I had to do some searching through the old forums to find other examples of MM kris knives and I almost did a backflip when I saw the CEM. Lucked out that both have excellent blades. Great day!
I'd call that show a major success - very nice! Both are quite uncommon models.
I remember 10 - 15 years ago the two main shows for we switchblade folks were Atlanta on the East Coast and Eugene on the West Coast. There were others but these had the largest switchblade presence. I know things have changed a bit in the East. Is the Eugene show still the one with the largest switchblade presence in the West?
Thats what you call a great find .I love the horn on that kriss and its in really great shape ,rare to find one like this .
Love the fishtail aswell ,another great knife that I wish I had bought an example of when I could.

I'm pretty sure I know where ya found them I've drooled over em at many a show!! Glad ya gave em a good home mann!! Nice score congratulations!
Thank you my friend!
The Colt. CEM was at Florida Bob's table and the MM Kris came from a cool dude who was walking the show with a roll in hand, from California... he had a dead MINT Edwin Jay 14cm blue shell wrap with the original wrapper for a fairly reasonable price but I was already broke as a joke and could barely afford the cheeseburger I got on the way out LOL

The bail on the fish is fascinating.
I have seen a Mauser fish with a bail as well as this Montreal ITALY stamped 25cm fish I got a couple months back with bails, but I agree, not that common and haven't seen any others. I wonder if they were all produced by the same company
