Great idea for a thread Brett.

I was thinking in the weekend to make a Traditional German Knife thread- then saw this. Well done and boy are there some beauties in here.
Must get some photos in here when I get home 👍

Appreciate that buddy. The post have my mind flooded with questions and have certainly created enough homework for me in researching them all. There are several that are really hard to find and I am genuinely impressed by the diversity and volume out there. Yet, I bet we have only scratched the surface.

I suppose it's a proprietary trade secret how the Chinese could make a superknife with no health embroidery.

Yep, the packaging was a real bonus with that £3 knife!

I'm not sure if this is allowed or if it is the right thread, but during the La Monnerie show last week end, a sob stole this knife ( shame, shame, shame!) and he could attempt to sell it this side of the pond as it is quite impossible to sell in France.
This one of a kind knife has been made by Adrien Giovaninetti and has a Damas blade and mammoth handles. (sorrry for the crappy pix)

Not an often seen style of Higonokami, but I think it has a certain aesthetic appeal.

Mark

Thank you Mark! Yes it's that bone and I'm very enamoured with this pattern from Böker. Well made and a good compact 3 blade knife.

Regards, Will

Will try and get some, but having probs with my new Mac (how to work it!) and Photobucket.
It's 11cm Shadow Ebony with white spacers. Big but good.

Opinel,2 Higonokami's and one I ordered from Turkey.

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).

That's crazy I just had the spring break on a knife nearly identical to your grandfathers.
