They have been making those 'german paratrooper' knives for a very long time. I remember a kid in my dorm at school had one 50+ years ago.

Re: Cold Steel Tanto!
I got this one from the old Atlanta/Parker cutlery co. in the early 80's, it cost in the low $20.00 range.
Back when I was younger and stupider I tried putting it through a car door; it went right in with no damage to the point.
A very similar handle design to the Cold Steel.

Re: German Or Italian ?
Here is a fact. "Stiletto-style" knives were never made in Germany-regardless how they are marked. Thank you for that factoid Bill. I'm awaiting the arrival of your snakeskin Leverletto from Latama. 8) Any abalone scale examples in the pipeline or on the way? Since this is a picture forum, here's a...

Re: German Or Italian ?
Thanks gravknife, and yes the blade is pretty stubby; there is a lot of leftover space when its folded up but it is the hardest firing knife of the three shown.
I love those green pearl scales.

German Or Italian ?
Two very recent Italian acquisitions and one 35 yr old w/green pearl scales.
Now the green one has a faint kissing crane stamp w/rostfri under the logo.
German or Italian; thoughts?

Greetings From The Sandbar
Hi, new guy here, another resident of the Pay State (MA). I've been fascinated with sharp and pointy things ever since my first jackknife many decades ago, and yes, I'm a collector; mostly antique swords and daggers from different cultures with a few pre 1898 firearms thrown in the mix. I also have ...
