All About Pocket Knives

Hi everybody. I'm new here and I want to show you guys some hungarian knives made by a hungarian manufacturer Ferenc Kocsis. Knives are 100% handmade, and the type/shape of them are coming from different hungarian regions.

Welcome to AAPK. Do you mind giving us a clue where you're going with that?

Edit: Never mind. But you do have to admit, it makes more sense with the rest of the post.

Another edit: So those are all custom knives? Very nice. I wouldn't mind owning one myself.

WELCOME! Great looking knives!

Welcome to AAPK!

Those are nice looking knives!
Are they available in the USA or by order from the maker?
Is there a web site where they can be ordered?

What blade steel and other materials are being used?

Thank you very much for everybody. The makers web page: http://kocsiskesek.x3.hu/

It's in hungarian maybe it can be translated with the google translator.

Don't worry about it. I'm constantly finding a need to go back and edit my posts. My problem is, I'm too quick on the trigger.

Where are you located?

Blade steels: in majority Sandvik 12c27, ats 34, 440c and other stainless and non stainless steels made from Böhler and Uddeholm steel factory (I know the european code of the used steels but i don't know whats the american equivalent) , and Damascus forged steel made by his own hand.

Handle materials: exotic woods, horns and bones

It's good for me or for us to see many different pocket knives from many countries. It's a kind of cultural diversity. I've never heard about Tidioute, Case pocket knives till know.

If you're talking about the Great Eastern's (If I'm not mistaken, there was a Tidioute brand in the early 1900's) you should check them out and get at least one.

The main problem is, I can't check it or try it or hold it in my hand, at us it's unknown.

I thought every country knew Case knives… kinda like the Coca~Cola of cutlery… 100 years + and still hasn't reached all four corners of the earth. Those Hungarian made knives are beauties by the way When my girlfriend and I were in greece I was fine with the drink of the locals (coke,sprite,any beer) but she never did find a Dr. Pepper on the mainland or the islands… She didn't know what to drink lol besides water … she couldn't even find a Mr. Pibb

One more beauty:

I used the Google translator. It came out a bit funny but you´ll get the gist of it.
