Don't Canada and Sweden meet at the Arctic Circle and share a common border?
.... Maybe Abba is from that region of the GWN.... ?

Kerry is correct, glenn, the whole thing is just a silly banter between myself and GSPTOPDOG, but hopefully your inquiry will get things back to the knives.toomanyknives wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2025 9:37 pmCorrect, Glenn. They were a British band..This whole conversation got confusing!![]()

T-Dog, the stamp reads "Taylor Seto Surgical Japan", and the other side reads "MCR-18 Hand Made".

The Taiwan made version is model MCR-11.
Love those Western folders!![]()
The mystery of "Hand Made" by whom, I do not know. You will also find this on the Parker Custom Series knives, as well as other brands.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 12:38 amThanks CxIIICorn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 12:33 amT-Dog, the stamp reads "Taylor Seto Surgical Japan", and the other side reads "MCR-18 Hand Made".

CxIII, I am hoping that the quality was fairly consistent back in the day for most knives coming out of Seki-City. ...Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 12:46 amThe mystery of "Hand Made" by whom, I do not know.

CS is hard to beat, as good?, but these are less expensive.
No No hammer, cinder blocks, etc ... it's a 1%er!!

I think Cold Steel did set a "Gold Standard" with their tanto line back in the day. ...
I guess it's up to you to do some "Forged in Fire" type testing, by chopping up a couple of cinder-blocks, some bricks and then pounding the edges against a rail road spike by hitting the spine with a huge hammer.

...Also, I think that unless you are Marco, ToomanyKnives, or this guy pictured below.... less expensive is always a big bonus for the average AAPK member!
