Hey Whitney! I've been wondering where you've been lately, I'm glad you're all good. ::handshake::
That's a super-cool Kabar. It's actually the first melon-tester I've personally seen that has 2 blades, very unique. ::nod::
I've only ever seen the models with a fork on one end and a blade on the other, and of course the single blade models. Nice knife! 8)
Thanks! I appreciate it! Working night shift in Crisis in an ED takes up my nights. Then sleeping till 3 takes up my day! The kids and wife have my evening, so….time is limited…..
You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….

Brand new Moki ANZ-433 collaboration between Moki and our own Mark from SSk. 7 1/4" oal lockback with all SS hardware, VG-10 drop-point blade, and gorgeous Sunset orange and black barbed-wire jigged covers that really look sensational. Only 50 made and they'll be gone quickly as soon as word spreads about just how nice this knife is, so if you like it don't wait too long. Mark also had 50 of the slightly shorter oal ANZ-533's made that are also currently available. On a final note, my pictures definitely DO NOT show this knife's true beauty, nor do the pictures Mark posted, although his are far better than mine, but it must be seen in person to truly appreciate just how good it looks and feels! And NO, I do not get a commission on any sales, I'm simply very excited about this new knife! 8)WIN_20230206_13_10_18_Pro.jpgWIN_20230206_13_10_03_Pro.jpg
Nice. To me it looks old school and modern at the same time.

Thanks Eric, I appreciate your comments.
Mark from the AAPK "Sharpnshinyknives" store arranged a collaboration between the makers of Moki knives and Culpeppers, who supplied the cover material, to build 100 knives exclusive to his store, 50 larger and 50 smaller with blue lapis material covers, and sales were so successful that Mark decided to do it again with these new models in Sunset orange with black barbed-wire jigging. Mark has plans for more exclusive projects perhaps with a different knife next time too. Although I don't think it was intentional by the builder, I agree with what you say about looking old and new at the same time, the best of both worlds.
Both models can be viewed in Mark's store should you want to investigate further, and should you purchase 1 or more you won't be disappointed. They'd be perfect in the vest watch pocket of a 3-piece suit, a true "Gentleman's" knife. 8)

I’m due to take some new pics soon (it’s easy… I have all 100+ displayed on the wall in various display racks I’ve made).

Of course that “when I’ve collected all the models I want” never really ends! :lol:

I just picked this up here on AAPK. And now Iv'e misplaced it ::facepalm:: ... ::hmm:: Makes me say to myself... There's a yellow rose in Texas
That I am gonna back to see
Nobody else could miss GEC,
Not half as much as me
I cried so when I left it,
It like to broke my heart
And if I ever find it
We never more will part

That barbed wire jigging is indeed attractive. And I must say I like seeing more traditional style knives in your hand. We’re gonna suck you over to the traditional side yet! :mrgreen:

I just got this yesterday--I've never seen another like it. I probably paid more than I should have, but it was one of those "gotta have" things...

Single knife blade, unmarked, with a handle shaped like a rifle. Inside the rifle barrel are both a mechanical pencil (though darned if I know how to refill it--and I don't want to break anything trying!) and a fountain pen nib!

The only marking is the fancy script on the pearl, which *might* read "Lourdes", or maybe "Ipardes", or (probably) something else.

Anyway, I wanted to share this little gem with all of you!
