Comfort Knives!

[Madmarco]

...etchings on both sides of the blade, "Vendetta Corsa" (Corsican Vengeance). Comfortable weight and killer sharp. A French fighting knife!

Mon Dieu! C’est très gentil

Thanks, Dog,...I think! Oui, eh!::shrug::

Canada becoming the 51st. state?

I thought that was a done deal and had already gone through...

Nope, not yet, Dog, my government is dealing with Trudeau quitting as Prime Minister, but once that's swept under the rug I'm sure they will give it their due diligence, meaning laugh it off!

Received not long ago!
I have admired these Vendetta knives for a minute, but any I saw had very high prices attached, until I found this one!
It's 9 1/4" with a needle-point SS blade, NS bolsters, SS liners, and decorative bone covers. The only markings are etchings on both sides of the blade, "Vendetta Corsa" (Corsican Vengeance). Comfortable weight and killer sharp. A French fighting knife!

Yessir Mark! I am guessing it is a linerlock?

No, man, it's a strong slip-joint with an equally strong half-stop.
I could only ever find this knife in the mini-style, 3-6" which is way too small, so when I found this 9 1/4" model I pounced.
It's a fun knife!

Just sent these knives out to a good friend of mine. Bon voyage my little buddies. I hope you bring my old pal much joy.

The g96 960 I repaired and customized the shield. I'll miss it, but I found this orphan in a going out of business antique store. It'll be my new friend, a brother to the one in my friend's pocket.

The fob knife is a little gift for his wife. The tipped bolster Colonial I'm asking him to send back to me with new wooden pants, hopefully mahogany but I also like the oak and maple.

That's a very attractive and generous gift, Zach, I hear that good folks like you go to Heaven!
I'm sure your gesture will bring your friend much "comfort"!

Cam III Samurai by Tak Fukuta for Charles Arthur Mahon III, made in Seki City Japan...
4.375" Aus-8 Blade Full Tang Tapered ... Yellow Paper Micarta Scale With Red Liners & Bird's Eye Pins ... 9.75" OAL ... 9.6 Ounces

Spectacular bowie, Tony!
I like seeing new and/or unusual features instituted by the maker, like bright yellow covers for example, as opposed to the usual black ones.
This knife appears as solid as the day is long, for using or just displaying I'm sure it will serve you well!
Great acquisition, my friend!

[Madmarco]

Might have posted these previously, but who really cares, right? I am about to show you 2 of the sharpest knives I've encountered in my searches, they will literally slice a soft ripe tomato as thin as rice paper!

This is an 8 1/2" Muela made in Spain all solid brass linerlock.

Also an 8 1/2" Muela all solid SS linerlock, but this one has about a 45% serrated blade.

Thank you Mark! It is another one I waited to find at the right price before buying.

I did a quick internet check under "Justin" and "Canadian" .... and this is what the interweb came up with:

[Madmarco]

Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilar?

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilar?

That's Brittney Spears next to a walking legend.

[Madmarco]

Who is the walking legend, Zach, I don't recognize him?

[GSPTOPDOG]

Who is the walking legend, Zach, I don't recognize him?

Apparently, when I was researching the outgoing Canadian Prime Minister ... and I did an interweb search on "Justin/Canadian" it automatically filled in "Canadian Tuxedo".... and came up with that image.....

[Madmarco]

[GSPTOPDOG]

Apparently a "Canadian Tuxedo" is the "high class formal wear" of the GWN ....

Thanks T-Dog! Guessing this knife was made in the 80s. Also, I may have misstated the maker. Mark/SSK, in the "Other Seki" thread posted that he thinks Tak Fukuta made these knives, and I believe he is correct. I edited my original post. It certainly looks like a Fukuta made knife.

That is what is great about this site, all the members with a vast amount of knowledge, on such a wide variety of subjects.

Oh you already nailed it buddy. Justin Timberlake. Just look at that denim.

Oh and here's my knife I've got next to me. TripleF gifted me the lanyard. Solid bolsters and a pen secondary instead of a punch, which I like.
