Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Taichung Taiwan Large Nilaka. Such a cool Puukko design. Full length liner lock. Zero blade play in any direction and simply the best action I’ve ever experienced with a Spyderco. Perfect detent with a closing action that is in between hydraulic and drop shut with ZERO lock stick. I cannot believe how smooth this knife is.

Second hand six inch Baja-6 model from Town Cutler. It's got a very slight belly from tip to heel. Like some of us, it never really straightens out. 😉

I have seen these and was really tempted. The handle is just gorgeous. What steel, and have you used it yet to rate its cutting characteristics? Looks slicey, about how thick is the spine?

I snatched this one off the bay at a very good price yesterday. I’m really hoping it to be ww1 or at least ww2 era. Identical to German trench knives carried in both world wars. Condition of the leather makes me think it could also be 60s or 70s, but that alone isn’t enough to draw any conclusions. Ive seen 200 year old knives look better than this, mostly depends on storage. Will be looking for a makers mark once it arrives, that might give me some idea as to its age.

Here a ww1 sheath for comparison, absolutely identical in construction:

May be wrong, but it looks 1930s to 40s. Doesn't look like a postwar knife to me looking at the retainer snap and hardware on the sheath - and the crown stag handle and handle hardware
