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…

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. 😊 😎
