Knife from Lafond's Logic of Steel

[Mackenzie4856]

Can anyone give me information on that Othello he talks about so much? There are only around two pictures put they have piqued my interest. Sorry I can't post them, don't have a scanner and if google had the pictures in question I wouldn't be asking.

Othello was the trademark of Germany's Anton Wingen factory. They closed about 10 years back, but their knives are pretty easy to find still. Need a pic for more info.

Its a folding bowie-type with a slim blade and i'm pretty damn sure a swing guard.

Look sorta like: www.pumaonly.com/pages/M-2.htm. ? A Wingen version of that knife sells for $150-200 on Ebay, they show up every couple of months. Search "Wingen knife" or "folding bowie".

They also made a small 3 3/4 - 4" folding guard that is much harder to find.

That looks almost exactly like it. The other specific I found in the book was a 7.5" blade.
