just recieved a catalogue from parker's kcs.
some nice buldogs. also a group of super rare finds. assembled from parts "found" in an old cutlery museum. brands include diamond edge, marshall-wells, krusius brothers, blades from the fifties assembled with vintage celluloid handles. bet they start showing up on the bay and elseware touted as old and original. lots of naive buyers out there. oh well. these come from within our knife community.
if i'm out of line, forgive me, but it's my opinion.

I agree with one exception, that Parker's KCS is a member of "OUR" knife community. Are these super rare finds of old stock or were they made yesterday. They always look to good to have been stored for 50+ years. Too many finds, too many makers, too phony.

I think it's an embarrassment to the knife community.

I agree with Hukk. It's too big a stretch to believe that these are a OLD wharehouse find. Get real. knife-nut.
