Sweet old Ulster with the US shield-10th special service force knife. And, awesome electrician’s knife, is that an Empire?

I decided to take a chance on this one. 0.18 inch thick M390 steel, one piece aluminum handle, frame lock, hidden pocket clip, cool lock on frame lock.... I post a review when it arrives.

Update - I took delivery of this Lionsteel but am sending it back. The action was not smooth and there wasn't enough texture on the handle for me. I felt like it needed skateboard tape or something. The disappearing pocket clip is an answer to a question not asked. For me anyway. Just not my cup of tea I suppose.

Yes the electrician knife is an Empire .

Yes sir!

Picked up at local flea market today. Fife cutlery Germany. 4 blade stag congress . Back tang appears to say 575 soligen from what I can see of it ? From what I could find online it’s an old hen & rooster ? No hen and rooster markings though. Anyone know anything about them as far as date made or anything?

Levine says C.Bertram, retail brand imported to Mount Sterling , KY. 1966-74. Nice one J.O'.

I'm supposed to be good at haggling, but I made the big mistake of showing the seller how much I liked it and had to pay more than I wanted. But I don't regret it
Your catch from the flea market is also very good. Cool choppers.

Thanks! ... I learned a long time ago, while travelling in Africa and Asia, if you are looking at something you want, always pick up something else and ask about it first... don't show any interest in what you really want until later....

You're absolutely right. Everyone has their own little tricks for bargaining and acting. But the other side can be no less experienced.
Still, I got it for half of the original asking price, so I'm counting it as a success. But it could have been for 1/3.
I don't mind the money, but I love bargaining.

We should make a topic "the art of bargaining", and everyone should share their ways.
