Issue has been reported and addressed on the site. They suggest clearing browser history cookies and cache. As computer dumb as I am, I was able to go to settings on my Windows PC and do that. It worked.

Re: AKC STILLETTOS ARE THEY ANYGOOD.?

...Well, that's certainly the style I think of when referring to a Stiletto, and it's surely stamped AKC. My question would be, why don't I (we) ever see them offered by the Italian makers? I can't help but to think it's Asian made. I'm sure a more experienced eye will chime in.

Issues Viewing SD's Site?

Hi. Just wondering if it's my Internet, but trying to view items on SD's and when an item is clicked on, no picture is showing and words on pages are all mumbo/jumbo. I see folks are bidding on items I can't even view, so I'm wondering if it's just me. Tried 2 PC's in my home. Both same issue. Thank...

Re: AKC STILLETTOS ARE THEY ANYGOOD.?

Yes John. I guess I think of a Stiletto to mean the traditional/classic design. When I see the traditional/classic stiletto design on the Bay stamped AKC, I just skip it. I'm afraid I just don't have the experienced eye in that case. Like I mentioned, the Asian makers stamp them all AKC and I've nev...

Re: AKC STILLETTOS ARE THEY ANYGOOD.?

Was thinking about getting a akc 9" stiletto switchblade does anyone have any experience with these.? I'd actually like to SEE a 9" AKC Stiletto. I've seen plenty that are pure Asian as they mark every "stiletto" they produce AKC. I've seen AKC Swingers, Leverlocks, Bill's Leverletto, Shellpuller L...

Re: Pick Lock Pat Havlin

Super nice pair you've found Jay! When confronted with the Nickel/Silver or Brass decision, I often go for Nickel/Silver. But, I like the way Pat Havlin combined the Brass bolsters with the Nickel/Silver button and safety. It looks really good. I always second guess my choice between the 2 materials.

Re: AGA Campolin Zero Dagger Leverlock

It's truly a beautiful knife you have Corvus (one of many beauties you have). AIK does a real nice job with the custom work. I believe the owner's (Barry's) Son does the customizations. Really nice!

Re: Walt's 23cm Picture Thread

Availability: Walt had mentioned last year that the 9" would be available in April/May of 2018. Of course, that projected date came and left. It wasn't until I just by chance, saw a few become available on PVK, that I even knew they were. I wrote Walt about it and he mentioned that he was short hand...

Re: Walt's 23cm Picture Thread

I placed them side by side and they appear identical. The longer/harder I look for differences, the more my eyes can deceive me on the tiniest variations in thickness. I believe Walt has advertised the blades as "new half grinds", but must be the "new" was from years ago new. All very fine pieces. S...

Re: '50's B. Svoboda Picklock-Kriss

Appears to be like new from the pictures. That one probably set you back a few. Sammy...it appears that they all do anymore. I started collecting and was happy with the Beltrame family pieces. Then, more quality and the vintage pieces took over my mind AND my wallet. It's one heck of a hobby, and I...
