My ww2 samurai sword by yoshihara kuniie.

How much is a dark horn akc tanto with the discount, love your damascus mikov, but spent a lot this Christmas.
Happy new year.

These are both beautiful knives,what size are they? I mean length and thickness , love the blade shape and etching.

Hubertus shellpuller Bill, I'm trying to create a shellpuller like yours, I'm using a needle file and the pin is in the way, to make things worse it was a short pin to begin with the majority on the leverside. I was hoping to tap it through when finished but this lifts the blade. What are they made ...

Is removal of the blade pin a bad idea.... I can't file my bolsters flush without removing it, any tips really welcomed, I'm in a bit of trouble
Thanks Ian

Your right Dave,a flashback of sutherland with a blade and a ww2 spy has melted 2 films into 1....apologies all.

I'm sure there is one part where Mr devlyn needs to silence someone and you see the fallschirmjager briefly, sorry if it's wrong, I'll have to watch it again.

No picture but my beloved german gravity knife used by Donald sutherland in the Eagle has landed,sorry if it's been already found.

Tool and weapon, been that way since the first flint knives of old.

I'll move to the U.S then Bill ,all my favourite collectibles are there from civil war guns,to my new passion switches.
Thanks for the reply, I'll just keep dreaming.

What's best Bill?
Wax or shoe polish, the horn is very light brown and dry looking.It's as if the brown is wearing as I've handled it to work on ,most horn I have is wet looking possibly through handling.
Sorry about picture but this is the colour and look, from old knife I made.

It's better to ask I thought before staining anything like this while still attached to the knife. Firstly are new hubertus still real horn? Is there a way to enhance dull horn,without removing the handles first? I have a hubertus but I'm a little disappointed in the horn just wanted it slightly dar...

How much to make one like this Bill?
Im after a Johnny Cade switch (bet you've never heard that before:)) but my country is an Ahole regarding knives, except when eating dinner.
Regards Ian

Thanks viking 45, it's a bigger knife than my wiedmansheil I posted a few days ago These are my favourite scales are they stag or bone stained? Been drooling for months at the various German switches especially the infamous johnny cades solingen knife and glad to be on here...a great place where you...
