Traditional Knives Outside the USA - Show Your Non-American Traditional Knives.

[KBA]

I don't remember seeing a thread such as this.

For the past year my interest in knives has focused on those made outside of the USA. I thought I would post what I have to date. I would be interested in seeing what you all have and info on where they are from.

Great idea for a thread. I will try to get some pictures of mine to contribute.

Most of mine are German, with some Swiss. I used to own a couple of English made, but gifted them away. OH

Brett, great idea for a thread! I'm really enjoying everyone's posts. :thumbup:

Harry, I like that Eddie Bauer SAK. Is that one made by Wenger?

I don't have anything all that interesting (Opinels from France, SAKs, Japanese Higo, etc.), but I'll have to take a few photos to contribute here.

Great thread idea Brett, looking forward to seeing all the contributions, some great knives already :thumbup:

Readers of my last 'table' thread might remember this old Russian knife?



Huge thanks to Makandr on the BRL forum for identifying the maker - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...-Help-With-Identifying-An-Obscure-Older-Knife (and to everyone else who helped )

I have quite a few German knives, but this vintage Carl Schlieper, gifted to me by Duncan, is certainly one of my favourites

The Opinel needs no introduction, but the Higonokami from Japan needs more notice. A fantastic slicer that takes a wicked edge in a very rugged package. And the Resolza from Sardinia is a great one. Nice flat blade geometry and beauty in a time tested pocket sized package.

Italian Zuava, from Northern Italy. Feels wonderful in hand. The better half has confiscated this one as her 'purse" knife.

I'd like to see someone produce that style punch again. Really cool, jack.

France

Nothing fancy, just a lineup of carbon Opinels (No. 5 through No. 9).

Switzerland

Just grabbed a couple out of the SAK drawer.

Germany

Henckels Sodbuster (thanks Duncan ) and a Böker Beer Barrel Whittler.

Italy

Maserin

Japan

Higonokami and a little folder that belonged to my grandpa (unfortunately one of the internal springs is broken, so half of the blades just fall out loosely).

New Zealand

Svord Peasant Knife

Pakistan

A couple super-cheapies I've had floating around the bottom of a dresser drawer for years. I've used the folder for sharpening practice (if you snap it closed the blade raps the backspring worse than I've ever seen on any knife).

Thank you, it's a really great punch, sits nicely in the frame too :thumbup:
