Pics from German blade museum........

[Mace]

My wife and I went on a trip to Germany last December. Before we went I got on line to see if I could meet any knifemakers or collectors over there. I met a fellow named Olli and we hit it off rather well...nice guy. First day there we hooked up and went to a blade museum in an old Monk monistery in Soligen(spe?) and then a few days later he was kind enough to show my wife and I around Duseldorf.
Here a a couple of pics from the museum...more to come.***Scroll down for more pics***

Think that I would be afraid to use that fork and knife set! Looks like they are removal but still :0

I guess that set makes it easy to determine who is going to get the big piece of chicken

Very cool pics Mace :thumbup: I especially like the "Cut-n-Shoots" too. Some very elaborate handle work on a few of the blades. Anymore pics ??

 

[Bruce Bump]

Mace, You made my day! Thanks for the shots of the flintlock double barreled table set. That is such a cool design with the sliding powder bowl. With any luck a guy could shoot 4 unmannerly table guests with this set.

Hey guys, ....Hey Olli,
It was an awsome trip! I have to say the fork and knife set was my favorite.
Here are a few more.

mace was a 120# weakling untill he got his hands on that knife and fork set. then his older siblings thought twice before they took food from his plate
