Inner Inscriptions

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

It never fails to put a smile on my face to find a maker has taken the effort to embellish the inside of their knives with artwork and / or phrases that may never behold the light of day.

Here's a couple of mine: Spartan Runes + Staves and Mosquito Tactical Puppy Knife....

share some of your "finds":

rough translation from inside of Rune + Staves, "I don't quit when I'm tired, I quit when I'm finished."

Puppy:

Love it. And my wallet thanks you, now I need one of them Puppies.

You're welcome, but good luck finding one.

Yeah, you can tell I had no clue .... when the first google shows a long list of clones, it's obviously going to be difficult to find the real thing.

I don't have a single knife that I can think of like that, but then again I don't like titanium framelocks so that reduces the chance of such things. I do like how on my Cheburkov Strizh/Sparrow that the month and year of manufacture is on the bottom of the tang, only visible when the knife is open and looking at it from the bottom.

I recently saw someone post a picture of a knife with I believe Richlite scales that had something on the inside of them.

I like the concept. Another facit of this practice would be matching serial numbers as is sometime found on firearms.

Reminds me of the tiny bible quotes on Trijicon rifle scopes. As I recall some people were not too happy about that.

I think the new USA made Cold Steel Republic made by White River has a very patriotic inscription under the scales on the tang.

I've been watching out for runes and staves with a stonewash blade, one day I'll find one! That puppy is super cool as well! Here's my only one.

Puppy:

In the SHF thread, a person of the relevant heritage translated it as "I do not stop when tired, I stop when done" I love all my SHFs, fantastic knives and company.

Grimsmo put stuff on the inside, but I haven't taken any apart so I'm not sure what all it says.
