The knifes of Corsica

Blood_drinker · Post by **Blood_drinker** » Thu May 06, 2004 11:23 pm

Hello all.

New here but not to knives. I just ordered a rather
unique blade from this site -

http://www.KnivesOfCorsica.com

The selection is no longer shown ( apparently I got the last one )
it was on the "Corsican knives" section of that website, on the 1st page.

It is shown here -

http://www.cutlerytogo.com/gyby/coutousab.html

Edit - you have to click on "French pocketknives", then Coutellerie
Au Sabot

It's the 7th one down with the ring on the blade release...

It was rather like the Okapi knive of South Africa, called a flick
knife erroneously on KnivesOfCorsica.com's site, with the addition of the
word vendetta on the blade.

Shown here -

Hopefully they'll put up some more soon. I just happened to like the
vendetta touch to the blade

The Vendetta is a traditional corsican stiletto that comes in different sizes. Made outside Corsica as well now

A similar "ring pull" is also made by Cudeman in Spain.
The Vendetta can be had for a significant savings with a plastic handle and carbon steel blade.

I got the one that KnivesOfCorsica.com had for the $41 ;
not bad, but if I were in the market for like a Buck 110 I could've
gotten one of those for $30 from Cabelas. It was kind of an
impulse thing, just as if it were a good looking stiletto.

hey blood drinker....thanks for all the great info - but you may want to refrain from using all bold or capital letters....it's like the cyber equivalent of shouting!

cheers!

Hey BD,
Don't feel bad about the bold letters, Etiquette rules of the internet only refer to all Capitol letters as shouting. Sorry Mr. Bigg but his great links overshadow the boldness of his script.

Thanks for telling me but three other members emailed about the same thing a month ago and I'm taking the meds. Can't you tell? It helped so much I started to collect box cutters instead of switches and save money besides.

Awright, what does this gotta do with the subject matter?

I had ( past tense) my reason's for using bold face -
I have vision problems & it just helped me see the text better.

One thing, I've comed to find, about these so-called "forums"
is that the people that frequent them don't tend to get along
very well, if you know what I mean.

Now, if you're interested
in the Knives of Corsica, then put in your two copper coins ( Luke 21:1-2 )
and let that be the end of it.

My take on r-e-s-p-e-c-t : if you want it then give it first.
( you'll certainly get it in return from me ; treat someone like an @$$hole,
you'll get treated like one!

)

mr blood drinker - i'm not sure just who you are talking to about respect here....personally i don't take people who call themselves "blood drinker", then start quoting the bible but can't spell ASSHOLE too seeriously

mrbigg -

If you look at Luke 21:1-2 you find the referance to the
usually applied two cents or two copper coins.......

with regards the use of @$$ instead of ass ; most forums
censor profanity ( as ass is applied here

) apparently
this isn't the case ; with regards the forum name that's purely
my choice, but I'm apparently not entitled to it, or my opinion,
as I often receive flak for just about anything I post.

And the use of respect or dis-respect seem rife in
cyber-space ; it's either from watching too many episodes of The
Soprano's or The Godfather the way I see it. My saying is
if you want respect, be ready to behave respectable.
