Great additions. I find the kriss blades cool and a bit sinister looking, but like them.

Hi Peter,
Glad for you. It's a nice feeling when you have been searching for so long for something and then keeping watch in his hands.
I like it very good.
Where you can always find these beautiful pieces?

Hello Peter,
I can see that your New Year's Resolution was to add as many vintage knifes as possible to your collection before the fist two weeks of the year were over. :lol:
You added two wicked cool tang stamps to your collection and the two knives look fantastic; the horn of the small knife is awesome. Both knives are beautiful.

So I'm trying to gather information on this dagger I acquired from a friend of mine. I know it's an Svoboda, it's a keeps, I'm just not sure how old though.
