Re: Why On Ebay?

The handles are awesome! I would have thought that is an older knife because of the shield but I am not an expert though....

Re: Cigar Cutters & Knives
K7K the cutters with the razor blade should work fine on a cigar!
If I find myself without a cigar cutter I use my knives too but prefer the clean cut of a very sharp cutter to it. Bit and spit never worked for me. Guess I am not a cowboy.......

Re: Cigar Cutters & Knives
I believe the knife in your top photo is an electricians knife. http://www.loewenmesser.de/index.php/en/ It is, the european type. For cutting cigars I would only recommend the Victorinox, everything else will most likely shred the cigars wrapper. If it´s only for collection purposes there´s no pro...

How you doing today Dimitri? Any good flea markets going on in NH? Doing well thank you! No more good flea markets around here anymore :( What little there is is mostly modern junk, if you are lucky every once and a while you may find something or maybe at an antique shop.

Re: The unofficial neck knife thread
Sometimes I find it a lot handier to have a small sized knife hanging from my neck than trying to fumble inside a pocket for it. You even need two hands most of the time to get your pocket knife ready for action. I never wear it for decorative reason. I found it quite astounding the neck knives are...

OMG what a knife! A similar (without the golf and damascus) was sold on the German Ebay a few weeks ago. I was determined to win it and bid high but to now avail - it went for a ridiculus price.....
One day.....

Looks like he ruined a perfectly good piece of meat. The cheap boot deserves it though.....
I try to stay under six inch with my neckers. Don´t want to scare people more than necessary...
Ok, when the sun comes up tomorrow I´ll shoot a few more neckers.
