Knife show on a budget
Posted on March 18, 2019 at 13:00 11 Comments 3 Likes
Kaylin and I, along with my grandson, Nik, and son-in-law, Matt, made the 5 hour drive up to the Dalton show, this past weekend.
While the biggest topic of conversation was Jan's not being able to come, we still had a great time. As always, I enjoy seeking out other iKC members and sponsors; special shout out to Ken and Roger, of Blue…

"What makes this knife unusual is that the same knife was also made as a bullet knife that is worth less than the non-bullet model."
"Here is a nice knife I just picked up. It is a remington model 1613. You can find it on p 95 of stewart and ritchie's book."

Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out how to use these forum formats I’m having trouble using them from my phone. At least adding pictures. I have about 30 blades in a collection that once belonged to my Grandpa David Donovan. They are mostly rare but I still haven’t deciphered everything and I’m here for help and research. There are some puzzling ones. This is the one I’m currently on what I know it is a Type 30 with one photo of Japanese maker marks I found calling it a Kaneshiro Sakuganki Seiko KK, ai says its series less rare one the kanji is a number 7 in Japanese to me, the other photo of maker marks says it’s an Aisan Kogyo but it’s mark is a Star K with a K that is slightly tipped forward inside the star. And I think a Nagoya symbol next to it. It has a hooked quillion and the frog is unusual but has an Asian looking stamp on the back looks like what I’ve been told is a Bulgarian frog , Czech VZ style, chinese, or ai has said it is
Thank you! It’s nice to feel welcomed. 😊 😎
Thanks
