Re: due buoi

All the du bois knives shown are beautiful .

I particularly like the leverlock fastr19 posted but i'm not choosy and would have loved one example of any knife shown here .

Rarely see these for sale ,and never saw one this side of the pond as I would have bought it .

Re: My daggers

TMD

I believe it is an Egyptian commando dagger ,probably from the 60s or 70s but I cant find much about it .
It came complete with bloody sheath and is quite wide for a combat knife ,more like a spear tip .than a dagger .

Heres some better images of it .

Re: Abalone How Do They Do It

Does the same apply to mother of pearl ?
I have a couple of old victorian and Edwardian fruit knives and it looks like 1 solid piece .

Bill I would name and engrave it the "Phuk U bak " and also a hand giving the middle finger.

Re: tang stamp "6"

I wondered if it was a mark to denote scale material for a particular knife . Are your scales materials the same on your two examples ? Can you post a...

Re: Switchblade Identification help INOX

LaneLander Hope I have understood this correctly ,apologies if not . If the knife just fires open without pressing the button ,the sear pin could be badly worn and not fitting the hole properly . However it could be a few things ,rocker assembly moved or twisted ,dirt in the blade hole where the pin...

Re: Switchblade Identification help INOX
