loved the pics. Vids are great too. Thanks for doing them in English.;):thumbup:
 
It's nice to see some reviews of classic, traditional knives. Most of the time, they're videos of new-school tactical folders. If I had the money, I'd pick up one of those Percevals. So simple and elegant.
 
Man...i love to see these kinds of knives represented on there with all the more commonly reviewed knives. Excellent stuff. Keep them coming as you acquire them. I am off to subscribe.
 
Thanks all for the encouraging comments.

Meanwhile I added clips 10,11 & 12.

Enjoy!
 
Added review 14: the awesome Spyderco Chokwe and the charming Citadel Khukri.
 
I would also like to thank you for doing the videos in English. I enjoy your videos very much. I like the elegant classical designs in your collection and it is very interesting to hear about the history of some of the more traditional designs. I've never seen these types of knives before, thank very much for sharing them.
