Hello to all! I am new here, my name is Darek. I owned one of the SB Knives Pictured here when I was a teenager. It is the very first all stainless steel pictured one. Can someone Please tell me the make & model if possible? I would like to find another like it. It brings back great memories, but unfortuneately mine was stolen way back then in the seventies.

(Not the one directly above this post, but the one at the very beginning of this thread)...Thanks!

It`s a Bonsa.

Speaking of Bonsa...... here`s a seldom seen model

Wow Wiseguy, that is one great looking Auto if I ever saw one! Love the spearpoint blade. Bonsa s are even rare to find here in their homecountry.

Here is my latest auto;a Bonsa Springer in pretty decent shape except for a bit of rust(mostly cleaned away now)and a small piece of scale missing from the scale near the center rivet on the pile side.I have it soaking in PB Blaster at the moment trying to see if will open a bit easier.Virtually no side play in the blade and that may be the cause of the opening problem.

Sharing my newest find: a Type 1a Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger.

Nice catch Tom!I think the tip of the spike should be fairly easy to straighten.The steel isn't usually hard as a knife blade.I have a small brass hammer that I normally use to straighten pieces such as this on the flat of a bench vise.

Use lithium automotive grease, not oil, on the Bonsa tang.You won't believe the difference it will make!

Tom, great gravity knife! I have a few of those myself.
