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 for the welcome.  I'm sorry for the delay.  It seems most of the emails go to my junk mail account and I cannot figure out how to stop it.

Best to you,

Lee

Thanks, I’m trying to research some 80-90’s cold steel tantos, made in Japan, leather sheaths.  
two brass and one stainless steel. What might they be worth, blades and handles appear untouched.

Thanks,

Jon

Good to be here! I just ran across a neat one, a 1961-1964 Case Senator, sort of a cross between a pen and a Congress. Never carried, used, or sharpened. Red chestnut bone. Looks like it just came out of the box! Needless to say,I snapped it up faster than a bass on a worm lol

Thanks for the welcome, J. J.  Hey, did that Dalton show you posted about happen to be in Dalton, Ohio?  I am about 20 mins from there.
