Re: R. J. Richter leverlock
. Thanks for all the comments..... was Richter only in business after WWII....? Just wondering whether there's any chance that this could be pre-war. Other than ricasso stamps, how could you tell? The leverlocks don't have as many changes as the stiletto-style knives, what with the change from pickl...

Re: 1940s (?) 'Sheffield' lever "shellpuller"
. Thanks Bill ! Since you have found these to be more common than I thought, do you think they were imported commercially during the late 40s and the 1950s? Also, any info on the specific episode of 'Three Stooges' that shows this knife? Lastly, do you think they were, in fact, made in India? Thanks...

1940s (?) 'Sheffield' lever "shellpuller"
. I got this at the flea three weeks ago..... the ricasso stamp reads "No. 6 Sheffield steel" and the blade is stamped "best steel". An acquaintance did an image search and came up with several identical knives, with the most probable origin being India or Pakistan, dating approximately from 1947 to...

fastr ~ That's what I was afraid of.... I am now attempting to contact the folks at Microtech to see if there are any differences
between the real article and the fakes that will allow me to determine with certainty which I have. Stay tuned.....

Re: Marfione at the flea !!
. Well, SOMEBODY is buying Marfione Custom knives, because everything that I've seen online is sold out. Regardless of how well it's made, I can't get too excited over this piece simply because it's so small. The double-edge dagger blade is clearly a weapon design; but how effective is a three-inch ...

Re: Marfione at the flea !!
. (This post has just been updated to reflect additonal information) My knife looks like a Microtech because Tony Marfione founded the company: "Beginning in 1994, out of an apartment and later a storage bay in Vero Beach, Florida, Microtech® Knives was created by Anthony Marfione and Susan Marfione...

Marfione at the flea !!
. So, after the disappointing S.M.Z. a couple of weeks ago, I may have had a little bit better luck last Sunday. I traveled quite a distance to a flea market that I have not visited for a long time; and to my surprise, I discovered the knife pictured below. The seller was asking 400, I countered wit...

I didn't even realize that Italian 13s were hard to find. As recently as a couple years ago I would encounter them fairly regularly.
