That's pretty cool. I only knew phrobis as the maker of the bayonet. You really learn all kinds of stuff around here.

Wasn't it Michael5635 that had some and got into an argument with Rich N about the authenticity of Rich's. He felt his were the 'real' ones and Rich's were not for some silly reason? Bet someone with much better BF search skills than I could find it

You're probably right, I didn't pay much attention to either at the time...you just can't get the time back...you know?

There was a long discussion about this along time ago started by Makael.
A guy named michael5135 was bent up about it.
He felt put togethers and 'customs' devalued the real ones or something like that.

What custom work are done to the knives with the Phrobis mark on them?
