Re: AAPK's Store Platform?

I have a page and will answer a direct email and never hear back. Not sure if they’re really receiving them or just being rude in not replying. There are definitely some kinks in the site. When I signed up, I had to sign up for a credit card company to use and then they told me they couldn’t accept ...

Does your example also have the jigged, dark plastic scales?
Thanks,

I think so. The economy type scales seem to never be two piece.

Once the spring is replaced, it may have blade peek. It looks like it has been sharpened quite a bit.
I think that is the factory shape for that particular model. I have a mint example with the same blade grind.

Re: German with rare blade grind

Cool knife, but the blade grind isn’t original. Most likely it came with a spear point blade.

They are nice knives. They were made in 3 sizes.
Don’t forget the mini bo/bc.

Re: Any info on this?

Thanks Knfcollector. I’ve visited the link and I am impressed. That’s one awesome collection. The French knife there says Begon as mine is stamped Bargeon, but it looks like it is the same knife. Perhaps a different model by the same manufacturer? I especially liked the Spanish Knives in the collec...

Re: Vintage Hubertus single-bladed :trick" knife

Hubertus made two models. They weren’t being made in the later 1980’s so I’m not sure when they started or stopped for sure. Most of mine came from the owner long after they were out of production.

Re: Anyone know what kind of switchblade this is?

It’s a Spanish made copy of a French pattern. The two French models are leaf spring fired while this is coilspring fired. The French models are very well made with a heavy nickel silver top bolster. One has a rectangular button and a sliding safety. The other had a somewhat oval button that pivots t...

I found this one on a buy it now on eBay. Cracked ice celluloid handles. Both blades are switch blades operated by little brass catches on the end. Reminds me of the schrade pullball release.

Yours is most likely made by Broch in Germany. Here are others by the same company.

FS: Polish Demolition Knife WZ 1969

Times are tough and I need to thin the herd. The main blade is coilspring fired. I have two available. The first one has the magnesium missing which is very common as it disintegrates into powder with age. Otherwise it is mint with the original pouch, lanyard, and extra saw blade. The story is that...
