Hey, i have a few knives that i need help identifying. The first, a pantograph knife, RUKO made a re-production. I can only find that this is old and EXTREMELY rare, I have only been able to find a small handful of pictures on google, even after repeated pages-long searches, google patents doesn't have anything either, PAT. 49737. the second, and final kinfe, is an old looking middle eastern fighting knife, this particular blade,has a modified persian look to it, i have repeatedly tried to find a picture or website with information about both of these knives. I'm sorry about the lack of information on the second knife, but i wouldn't be asking if i found something

Help us help you by taking pictures of these knives and posting them in this thread by uploading them to a image hosting website (there are many free ones, like Photobucket and IMGUR) so that we can see the knives. You can try to describe them all day, but a picture will save you a lot of time and greatly assist in the identification process.

For some reason I get the feeling that the last knife will turn out to be Pakistani, because they make a lot of knives like that and with the fit and finish they use ( and often using brass bolsters...ect ) they fan start to look old fairly quickly.
 
Well, I hate to tell you this, but the folder is an incredibly common design that has been reproduced by more companies than I have fingers to count on, and the fixed blade looks very much like a "Pakistan Special" - one of about ten quadrillion knives made in a nonspecific region of Asia by any number of backyard knifemakers using inferior steels and construction methods.

It's a flea market sampler, I'm sad to say.
 
well, i expected the fixed blade to be that, i did after all get these two at the same swapmeet on the same day, and yes, the steel almost came of in springs when i put it to carbide, i'da thought some pictures would have come up. weird
 
Copy and paste the BBCode link and the pictures will magically appear
 
I have the exact same Pantagraph knife. Everything I have heard about it involved it being cheap and not rare at all. Sorry.
 
nlew, there is a RUKO re-pro, there are other pantos in this style in a different blade shape, i have only seen two pictures on google featuring this knife, literally no information, if it was common, i think there would at least be a LOT more youtube videos about the original than the RUKO, sorry to disagree.
 
I'm confused, is the one you're talking about made by RUKO? cause if so its basically junk. our local farm supply store carries rukos, and theyre junk

i wonder if it's legal to grind the edge off a sword and carry it in public...

Most likely, but if that is the case, you might as well walk around with a leaf spring from a pickup truck tied to your back, at least you could then say you are delivering it or bringing it home. You know, have a reason for carrying a non edged chunk of steel.

I don't see the point in carrying a sword with no edge on it.
Would this be to startle people or to cause concern from the general public?

It is hard enough for most (uneducated/closed minded) folks to accept the fact that some of us Carey knives for legitimate work reasons.

This type of reaction seeking and intentional attention drawing is going against the grain of common sense let alone not a step in "the right direction" for folks to go back to seeing knives as tools and not weapons.
 
If you are referring to my response, it was directed at your "sword" question. Not something that is painted black.
 
i know, im just saying people freak out without thinking, would that actually be practical, now lets get back to the topic please
if anybody can provide proof for n lewmans claims i will accept it (including n lewman
