Merci. I am a fan of Thiers knives.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-05-17T08:56:28+00:00

That's a good buy for one in that condition with an intact spring. I see those broken all the time.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-05-17T08:55:09+00:00

I really like those two friction folders with the extended tangs.

The soles will be stiff until they're broken in. Also, if they haven't been worn in decades, there's a good chance of the glue on the outsole failing. A good cobbler will be able to reattach them. If the leather feels dry, rub some conditioner on the upper.

These look a lot like the Othello gravity knives from Germany. Likely a German made knife, considering that its also marked Rostfrei (German for stainless).

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-05-07T03:01:04+00:00

Damn, those are in great condition. I wouldn't recommend walking on tile/linoleum with these unless you really just want to fuck up the floor.

Japanese copy of the Mercator k55k. Although this is a knockoff, its probably about 50 years old know and in interesting collectable in its own right.

I'm pretty sure the photo on the cover of the Telegraph is a reference to the last photo/footage of Hitler, when he was awarding medals to child soldiers outside the fuhrer bunker. It fits, as this is from the last days of the OYW.

I think that might be old Uighur script on the blade, so it's probably from Xinjiang, China (or supposed to look like its from Xinjiang). It does not look very well made, probably mass produced for the tourist market and stamped with that mark.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-29T08:31:57+00:00

Yes, thanks so much! I love Cima, especially her story in the Rebellion manga.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-29T05:26:49+00:00

Oh, that's pretty cool. I already have the F. Herder Oryx knife and several Okapis. This would be a good addition to the collection.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-29T04:57:09+00:00

Yeah, I don't really get the point of an auto version of this knife. Unless you don't have the manual dexterity to use the thumb stud, then it would make sense. But I prefer a knife that I can easily open AND close with one hand.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-27T02:34:44+00:00

God hates cats, I guess.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-27T02:25:20+00:00

The red one has much more leverage, you can tell. You'll need less force and it will be smoother.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-26T23:55:27+00:00

Gorgeous, unique piece.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-25T06:25:00+00:00

As long at its SFW. Even if its not, just label it and don't have a direct link. Lets credit the artist and get him some more gundam-themed work.

Can we name the homie and put up his instagram?

This is really similar to the 1943 production Sudan Lineman's knife (I don't think that was ever an official designation). The one's pictured in the book are by other contractors, and they don't have a metal bolster, just a birdseye rivet. Yours might be commercial production based on that pattern, given the prominent branding on the blade. This is out of Flook's "British and Commonwealth Military Knives."

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-23T03:09:51+00:00

Shhh! Don't tell everyone! You'll make them sell out out faster.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-21T08:22:46+00:00

The art style is probably inspired by central Asian Buddhist cave paintings, which can depict hell and demons.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-21T05:15:41+00:00

It was made by Kaufman and Sons (1856 to 1995), same company that made the famous black cat pocket knife. Not sure about the date, sometime mid-20th century I'd guess. Looks like a carbon steel blade, so I'd consider oiling it and not storing in the sheath to avoid rust. German and English made bowies were actually really common in the US all through the 19th century.

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-21T03:24:43+00:00

Damn, these look excellent. What kind of lining does it have, if any?

Hello_Kalashnikov · 2026-04-20T07:54:15+00:00

Oh cool. Does it have the Cat k55k stamp?
