Before I left for PA I received a call from Greg at TSA knives.  He wanted to help support our membership drive that weekend.  He generously donated a $100.00 gift certificate to TSA Knives for any member joining as a result of our presence at the shows.  We proudly displayed the following certificate on our table

Thank you Greg for allowing us to have…

Hey everyone..Mike Haines here from Spokane WA..I am forced to sell my one and only old collectible Knife..Sad but $ is tight and work is scarce for me right now..It is an old 1920's Remington Banana Bullet factory folder # R1253..It is NOT a repro but an original with perfect stag handles...5 1/4 inches long when closed..The blade is a little worn..Was appraised by a knowledgeable dealer and I am asking a fraction of that...like a fourth..!  Any interest contact me at mj111haines@gmail.com…

How I got started:An 8 year old boys brother who was 10 years older than he, gave a very special gift once. The brother came home from the Navy in 1956 on leave and brought his younger brother a 4 blade Imperial knife. The boy was so excited he cut himself with it that very day. His Mother took it away for awhile, and in about a year gave it back. The boy carried it proudly and loved that knife. One day in the 5th grade the teacher had the students do handstands, while the boy was attempting…

It's a fact that I collect Kissing Crane knives, mostly German made. In 1988 the company moved it's operation to China, along with a lot of other knife companies.

  Recently, I've seen a lot of knives with the Robert Klass shield instead of the Kissing Crane. Both seem to be on the market now days.

   What has me stirred up now days is I spoke with a distributor of knives and he said that the Kissing Crane brand is being fazed out and being replaced with the Robert Klass…

We are preparing for the Eastman Gun Show in Savannah GA this week.  We will be there August 10-11 so if you are in the area we would love to see you.  We have 10 new knives to get pictures taken of  and details to get worked out to prepare for this show. 

Just for your information, a new book was written by Robert Moix. It's one of the best book about Soldier's Swiss Army Knives, it's very detailed with lot of photos.

If you are interested, you can find it here (french version):…

The gold (10k?) is marked on both sides of each blade.

Both blades:

I posted pics of this in the past but I have some new (cool) info to add.

I bought this nice small toolkit a few years back.  Expensive but I really liked it. Problem was I didn't really know anything about it.

Knife is permanently attached and the six diferent tols affix to the opposite end from the blade.

Twist, click and you're in with the drill, file whatever.

But it really isn't substantial enough to use as a kit of tools.…

The European countries have different ways of marking their knives that are Stainless Steel. I could be wrong but the marking "Rostfrei" means stainless. Another term that's used is "INOX" ,this means that the steel doesn't Ironize. I am sure the meaning is "it is stainless".

     The reason I started this post, is to talk over the different tang stamps that have some sort of meaning about the knifes construction. Some may be a symbol, others words that may be foreign to us. I'm sure…

I haven't tried the Blog ability yet so I thought I would regurgitate what I learned from KnifeRights.org and the Usual Supsects Network, and what I ultimatley posted on my social media accounts.  I am just so excited the change in Texas Law that I have to shout it out to the mountain tops.  WOOOOT!!!!!

This system may not work for everyone, but it will work for me until a better idea comes along. It's inspired of course by the Great Eastern Cutlery packaging system.

Supplies Needed:

                           (1)  Six inch by one and one half inch cardboard mailing tube with end caps.

                           (1)  Four inch by six inch zip lock poly bag.

                           (1)  Three by five card.

It sounds like it might be some sort of firearm, but actually it's a new small Buschcrafter / EDC made by Frank Hunter at Black Wolf Armory in Lewistown, Montana.

It measures 7 inches overall, and the blade length is 3 3/8 inches. The blade is made from 1/8 inch thick Admiral Steel 1095 that has been oil quenched and tempered to 59-61 Rockwell. It has mitered mild steel bolsters, and black linen Micarta handles. Included is a black leather, vertical carry, sheath.

My skills are…

Allright. So far we've decided on a design, and a grind.

Here's what we have so far:

I'll soon be setting a flat grind on that knife. What I need your input on now though is what kind of handle material it should have.

Basically almost anything is an option. But just to get the ball rolling I'll show some…

I got my first Rough Riders this trip to SMKW.

This is a Rough Rider brown jigged bone baby toothpick RR063.

This is a Rough Rider brown jigged bone small stockman RR194.

This is a Case…

I did buy knives at SMKW.

This one is a Rough Rider Mushroom knife RR1400.  (The nation is now safe.  If that mushroom that came up in my yard was just a scout for a full scale invasion, I now have the means to beat it back!)

I am going to save this wooden Case knife kit until my grandson, Danny, is old enough to help me put it together.  May…

My visit to SMKW wouldn't have been complete without meeting the Knives Live guys.

Here is Josh and me in the Knives Live studio.  (It's a little bigger than a two holer.  I believe you could fit a three holer in it!)

And here is Jay.  (Like his T shirt!)…
