Some Interesting Knives

[ltorlo64]

As long as I was taking some pictures of my Buck knives, I decided to show some of the other more interesting knives I have.

Here is one made from an old railroad spike that I was given for my birthday a while back. I have to be very careful when I pull this out of the box as the sheath was not made for this knife and the restraint does not restrain. Not one bit.



A friend bought me this in Colorado. It is custom made and the handle is elk horn. This sheath was made for this knife.



Last is a knife I bought back in about 1984-85 when on my first deployment. I bought it from a street vendor in La Madeleine, Italy for about $10, which at the time was about 20,000 lira. The only distinguishing marks on the blade are a 'B' and 'Rostfrei' written in cursive. Rostfrei is apparently German for stainless steel.



When I get a good photo setup I will take some pictures of my Damascus steel knives. They are cool, but if I don't take good pictures of them the beauty of the blades is lost.
