Thanks Rick!Railsplitter wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 10:53 pmMark, that is a real treasure! I was going to post that I like the knife when I saw the first picture. I hadn't even read your comments yet.Madmarco wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 10:22 pm Hey guys! Just received this little beauty, and it carries quite a history with it. It's a genuine prototype folder that was commissioned by Blackjack Knives, but never went into production. It came with paperwork from Jemmy Iwahara, the fella that Mark(SSk)deals with at Japanese Knife Direct that states the knife was hand-made, only a few were produced, and that's it's very rare. I included pics of the letter from Jemmy, although, you will need to click-on the pic and then click-on it again so it will magnify so you can read it. I was in negotiations with a fellow member to purchase their copy, but the deal fell through and I found this one on Ebay. There was also another copy on Ebay that has the official Blackjack logo and wording as the tang stamp and an asking price of US$1498., but my copy and the copy belonging to the fellow member have a tang stamp of "FLT-1", so I've emailed Jemmy to see if he can explain the differences. The knife is titled "Blackjack Donnybrook" and is an 8 3/8" oal linerlock/SS dagger blade with stud, NS bolsters, brass liners, and black ringed micarta covers. Of course this is just my opinion, but I would call this the perfect knife! 8)WIN_20210215_13_24_56_Pro.jpgWIN_20210215_13_25_19_Pro.jpgWIN_20210215_13_25_45_Pro.jpgWIN_20210215_19_31_18_Pro.jpg
Awesome knife and a fantastic find!

Actually very nice, very well made (ala AG Russell)...fit and finish is amazing (for a $40 knife)...I decided to get one of each...and I'm happy I did. Generally, I tend to shy away from knives made in China but, these Brother knives are WAY better than what you'd normally expect on a $40 import. Very "AG Russell-like" (right down to the interior striker pin)![]()

Brother 1503. Also known as the "Cowfish" although I have no idea why. I don't see anything about it that resembles a Cowfish. Great knife though. Especially for $40.
Sweet Score! I especially like that Remington!Ripster wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 10:24 pmNice Sword Brand there my friend![]()

It looks like it may have come out of the same factory as the Chinese AG Russells.
