Does anyone here have old copies of the "Automatic Knife Resource Guide & Newsletter" published by Sheldon Levy in San Francisco, CA from about 1995 to 2006. If so, I am looking for a few back issues.

Bob and Ron....

Yes I have many stories about my two year + time in Kosovo.  The guards let them make the knives, then the prisoners trade them for cigarettes and the guards sell the knives.  I had three others I brought back for gifts to a few cop buddies of mine.  No two were alike but the one I kept was the coolest.

Clint, that's a great story and a very interesting knife. I had to laugh, though. Most prison shanks are not engraved, much less automatics!

Both of those badges are beautiful and interesting, as well.

Cheers!

Thats a great looking knife Clint.

While I was in Kosovo as a UN police officer a Captain from the Ukrainian Police Service who was also a UN police officer there, gave me an auto which was made in a Ukrainian prison by a prisoner.  This little knife works flawlessly.  (Same post will be posted elsewhere.)

That would make them of fine quality. The only classic pocket knives I have used were buck and case. Since my adventure with IKC I have found a whole new world of fine pocket knives.

Well Guy, they are marked Schrade Walden but I know they are manufactured by GEC
