Re: False button?

Anyone have any idea if false buttons were marketed to fool the buyer, or to fool the buyer's friends.

Re: Big collection of USSR prison knife

I've fallen in love with these knives as they are handmade. I finally gotten a contact in Cherkassy, Ukraine who sells on ebay. She says "The master's name is Alexander, he served time in prison for many years, where he learned how to make knives and now continues to make them, having already taken ...

The Russian Shark

Hola friends I used to be a photography buff. I would mostly put my camera on auto so when I would look at photog magazines and see they record the aperture, speed, and film I would feel deficient. Nor do I write down where I got each knife and how much I paid. My kids will not appreciate the lack o...

What to call this mechanism? Tip Lock?

Hola friends I ventured into the Russian knives and I got these mechanisms that I don't know what to call. The trigger is connected to a piece of metal that holds the tip of the blade in the closed position. It is awkward to close. But these knives will never peek. Do 'we' have a name for this? I li...

Broken BOBC or something else?

Hola friends So I bought these babies thinking that I was getting Button Open/Button Close (BOBC). Well they do open with the button but they do not lock open. No swivel bolster, no button close, no pick lock. You just fold them (see video). Side note: It's impossible to get decent descriptions of h...

Re: fake Hubertus? Italian style swivel bolster stiletto

I deleted the pics from my shared drive so maybe the others are seeing cached pics. I will try to add them back. Does that mean I have to keep them forever so they can be seen here. It is a nice public service.

Re: fake Hubertus? Italian style swivel bolster stiletto

Thanks for the word guys. I am assuming Hubertus never made anything like this, right?

Anyways, glad to join the group.

fake Hubertus? Italian style swivel bolster stiletto

Just got it off ebay. I'm sure I got a fake as I cannot even find this style. Luckily I did not pay much. I was hoping the fact that the seller listed it as a 'Hubectus Rostrie Automatic' was why yall did not find it and bid it up. But I bet yall saw this and laughed. It is not tight and my fingerna...
