💥Blast from the Past💥 (unofficial nostalgic older knife thread)

[WValtakis]

Yes you do! When and where did you pick that one up?

Got it from a buddy that we used to help out with his sword booth at the RenFaire almost 20 years ago.

Oh no no you don't get to post that without any explanation. What is it? Looks like an Angus Trim maybe?

Boy I missed on that one. With the machined looking fuller and what looks like a nut on the back end of the pummel I thought I had it!

I have no idea when it was made.

Seeing as I started the thread…I should probably participate as well as love seeing all the older goodies everyone posts.

These two are modern “oldies.” A Wharncliffe Gravitator and a BM GC Torrent.

I need to do that to mine!! I’d actually carry it! Cool.

I must be Losing my Mind!!! I could of Sworn those Bench mades were wharncliff blade shapes!!

A couple of you have some looong blades. Here’s the one I have - 1849 Enfield bayonet


And a few of my oldies but goodies - Blackjack AWAC, Gerber Guardian, Micarta Calypso Jr

This is an early Cold Steel Master Tanto. It is unusual for two reasons: 1) it is sterile and 2) the blade is both 9" and has a "V" spine. Usually, the 9" version has a flat spine and the earlier "V" spine versions was about 8-3/4" in blade length. A prototype?

426 is the spear point Gravitator; 425 is the wharncliffe.

I thought it was a Shiva, but I don't think they have a 7' blade. I have one, but I don't want to dig it out of my safe to measure. Photo is a Shiva from ACK.
