Ever heard of "Museum Arms and Armour Unlimited" ?

Post by Treeshark »

Was looking at a knife. Well, it was regeistered by these people. But when I tried to do a search on them , no luck.
Here is a link to the knife

Have tried white and yellow pages by net and searches but nothing. At this point I am almost tempted to drive to Allentown and take a look, maybe just to see what they say Ultradamascus HCS is :?: :?:

Atlanta Cutlery had a "subsidiary company" with the a similar name but I'm not sure if that is/was them :?: It looks more "up market than I would have thought, for their product line. I though they had "replicas" in their name somewhere.

No one seems to know anything about the company.

However the little voices say that the knife came from this place at sometime

I really have no idea where the tanto came from but.......

I think this is the one that is/was? related to Atlanta Cutlery.
The other looks more "up market" :wink:

LMAO
I wouldn't go that far but, SOMETHING seems a little curious :? I don't know enough about traditional Japanese construction to comment but something is making me go to a very low level alert, that I can't put into words. Maybe I'm just tired. Seeing it "live" might make me feel silly for having ANY doubts :oops:
