Taken from the book Luftwaffe Gravity Knife by Mack A. Pattarozzi: There are five types of German Paratrooper Knives. The Type I FKm (first picture) is from my collection and is a non take down early WWII(1937 - 1941). The Type II FKm is the same except that it is later WWII issue take down version ...

Jerr:

At least I know what to say next time. As always, thanks for your sage advise! JB

I'm wondering if the glass breaker tip with the pocket clip will make it possible to carry it in a shirt pocket so that it looks like a pen. i'm going to try it as soon as I can. I'm in the sign business and last week I went to Wash. DC (Penna Ave.) to install some interior signs. I had picked up th...

I just received a Ranger in the mail today - Thanks to the tip from Leighdog. I paid $59 shipped. I was just comparing it to the Lightening that I’ve carried almost every day for about a year - thanks to Jerr who recommended it. I have to agree with previous comments. The Ranger is a little better q...

12 Angry Men is what me me crazy about switchblades. I watched it back in about 1963 when I was about 10 with my Grandfather. I couldn't get the image of that knife out of my head. it was the coolest thing I could have ever imagined and I had to have one. It took 12 more years for me to aquire my fi...

I just got two Leverletto Pluses from Rick over at SharperDeals. This is the first time I've had the pleasure to handle these new Leverlettos. In my opinion a perfect knife just got better. The size is just right. I love these knives. Well done Bill! JB Take a look. The original size is included for...

Have you guys ever seen the movie, "Dirty Rotten Scondrels"? ...it could be funny as hell to see them try to out fox each other!

The Best! JB

The Siciliano really looks cool - retro. It is way too large for carry though. A 10" would be perfect! JB

I would really like to see the original next to the new one. Is this possible?? JB

Am I correct in calculating that these will be about 1 ¼” longer than a standard Leverletto? That seems like a very nice size. JB

That's VERY nice of you but yes, he did get the kukris back and he's doing very well right now. The Best! JB

Dick:

That's a real sweetheart - what is it. It reminds me of this old I talian knife that my Grandfather gave me that WAS an edc for me about 40 years ago. Thanks again for the Tiny's swap! JB

I’m glad that you avoided a loss – this guy is a real scammer. Are you saying that in the process of checking him you found this thread and were warned? I hope I helped you! Our story has an ending; just OK. Because of the pressure brought to bear through the Norman PD, the kukris were returned to ...

Automan:

I guess it's suspenders for you! If I'm not mistaken, I believe German Paratroopers wore some kind of suspenders - we now know why. JB

Automan:

You've got to wear jeans and tighten you belt a notch! ...I carry mine a lot.


Magnum:

At first glance I thought, "that son of a gun stole my picture" - we have a few in common.

The Best! JB
