Hello!!

I just noticed a huge hole in my collection. I own one junky Gravity Blade.(I hide it)

Where can I aquire a really nice Gravity blade?? As a kid I owned a German WWII SS Gravity Blade but where it ended up is unknown.

So..Gravity Blades, surely I'm not the only one??

I had a WWII veteran falschirmjaegermesser or "paratroop knife", complete with the appropriate Waffen Amt stamps on it that I had advertised here for $125 and had no takers. I recently sold it to a re-enactor for $200. It is a gravity knife and I believe that there is a German company that is making modern versions with plastic scales on them. I know that I have seen them advertized. I *think* that Colt may have imported them at one point and put their name on them.
 
I'm not sure if Eickhorn, the Colt CSAR maker, is even still in business. They've been around forever and now their website is down. It has been for a while.

Not many people seemed to stock their products and I've seen virtually no discussion of their knives so it wouldn't surprise me.
 
Eickhorn is gone. The Colt CSAR was their product. 1SKS doesn't carry it anymore.

But I got mine, Jack! :D
 
OK, here is a link to a site that was offering them but says that they are now illegal in Germany so Eickhorn can no longer make them. http://www.highdesertco.com/coltcsar.htm

This is the item, all right. It does not appear that production was transferred to Taiwan as there are none being offered for sale anywhere except on occasional auction sites.
 
I've got a Colt, nice to have in the collection when I seen it I just had to have it.
 
Gravity knives, German and otherwise, show up regularly at the shows, both gun and knife shows. I would be very surprised if I did not see at least 2-3 tomorrow at Blade West. Never seen the Colt, however. The qualities vary, as do the prices. I came close to buying a good quality plastic handled variant, $75 asking price, but spent the $ otherwise. I figured I had to have one after seeing Roman Polanski's brilliant 1962 first feature Polish "Knife in The Water" movie (a must see, for the knife and the female lead). The knife was like this one: http://members.fortunecity.com/redskul15/parts19.html
