Re: Interesting knife

Years ago, I saw a similar looking knife, and was told it was a "pipe knife". In some ways, it was more ornate than this one. And in a bit better condition. But, basically the same parts/idea. Only seen one in my many years in the Antiques/Collectibles market.

Re: Vintage German WWII fantasy switchblade

In ancient writing, the symbol we call "swastika", is called "Mangee", and it was originally a Sun symbol. In Native American culture, the same symbol was used to represent lightning. It is actually a very old symbol, used by many cultures. But, Hitler bastardized it to be what it has become. Sad.

I would think so. Thanks. For those of us who don't really know the deal, it is a fun, and even exciting, show.

Re: Forged In Fire

As I said, "we all know how real Reality TV is". Every show has writers. If it's filming reality as it happens, what do the writers write?
Thanks for your reply.

Forged In Fire

I didn't know exactly where this would fit in, so, I'm putting it here. I'm wondering how you guys feel about the TV show, "Forged In Fire". We all know how real Reality TV is, and I wonder how close to real is this show. Can these guys really be making knives in 3 hours? I want to hear from the pro...

Re: A Brief Intro

Yes, I know of those. As you say, they were issued by private banks. They were also odd sized, many were like the larger earlier Federal Reserve notes. Thanks for taking the time to share that.
