.. Interesting year, tough one ..

Hi STeven, thanks for all sort of your contributions which I shared them in BF :thumbup:

2013 is a very interesting and a tough one for me as well!
The Customs people got very strict and acting very confusingly especially to us knife collectors
They say we can import knives when we have a permit but AFAIK there's nobody able to get the said permit

So as an alternative we have to go for sort of Neo-Tribal style of knives from our local knife makers!
No more hi end knives in term of best materials, fancy designs, standard knife making technique and established knife makers names in 2013!
We just lucky enough to have a couple of knife makers that have the closest knife making technique as in the current modern practices!

So that's it 2013 which will be a history in 3 days time

PLK (i.e. Parang Lading Kedah)

SOD

PLS (i.e. Parang Lading Sabit)

All are made by O'Katz :thumbup:
And that's part of my story which I can add in this thread STeven

Happy New Year to one and all!!
