Ha, don't tell him that one! Those things are long discontinued, and whenever you do see 'em on the rare occasion, they are astronomically priced! A shame, because I do love those.
 
I wonder if people with all the Glock knives went out and bought the pistols when those came out.
 
Not my knife, unfortunately.
Found a pic online.

This Remington is appealing to me as well. I have no idea who made it, but it's made in Italy.

Need to look at OLDER Brownings& S&W knives. Also IIRC the older Rugers& T/C knives at least the folders were made by a Gentle1man by the name of Bowen IIRC. Don't know if you travel to shows but this April in Tulsa (lower level) wil be a fairly comprehensive display of Browning knives starting with the first ones/ produced. Probably three tables or so. These will be part of the Browning collectors display(not vendor tables).
The early Colt knives were made at 1st in Sheffeld then by Olesn here in the states. And last but certainly not least are the Ithaca knives they aren't very well known. All Quality products.

I like the look of the KP federal regrind, but it just ain’t the same without that khaki (or denim) handle of the Kahr - the way God and Janich intended it.
 
As some have stated the older stuff from Winchester, Browning, Colt, and S&W were better quality than today. I would look at places that sell older knives. These big companies back in the day would get some very good craftsmen to make their knives like from Seki city Japan or Sheffield England.

I got a cool one to share; that is a Gil Hibben design Damascus hunter knife that Browning wanted to produce 1000 pieces run and they went to knifemaker Ichiro Hattori in 1983 to make for them and they sold it as the Model 3816 Double Edged Damascus Hunter. I own a Hattori custom Damascus Hunter of this model that is very special in my collection and very cool because it has a core of the hard to get Cowry X steel. I always wanted a piece of that steel for my collection in my younger knife collecting days hearing about it.

There really is a lot of cool history with the big gun manufactures and the history of the knives they produced

I ordered this Beretta branded knife years ago, right from their website.

Most Beretta knives are made in Italy. This one was made by Fantoni, and I believe Fantoni made the Harsey knives sold by Lone Wolf.

Looks familiar :)

Fantoni made great knives... Lone Wolf did their own stuff with Bill Harsey....Another great product... Shame Benchmade drove em to the grave
 
Are there any good places other than eBay to look for some of these knives that are no longer manufactured?
