GT always like those Horn knives from Spain that you have.:thumbup:

Here's one from Italy and a very kind present from Scruffuk, thanks again Thom!

Congrats, Brett! Those are some superb Taramundis! :thumbup:

Toledo Australia- no such place but there is or was Toledo tools now known as or owned by Tridon. I'd like to think these were made in Oz but have a feeling it was "elsewhere".

The 2 blade trapper is much better than the "buck 110 looka like" which is kinda wobbly.

Yeah, Meako - I sharpened and reconditioned a 1970s Toledo Excalibur 110 copy once for a friend that I suspect was made by G.Sakai in Japan. Beautiful fit and finish, 440C blade, as good or better than any Buck original I've seen.

And on the other hand I have a Toledo 'Telecom' knife that looks like it was ground and slapped together by a drunken dugong at 4:58 on a Friday afternoon.

I think some of the later stuff must come from Pakistan or backwoods China.

Here's another Aussie knife - not a traditional pattern in its own right, but an interesting variant on a traditional pattern. This ones definitely made here in Victoria by ZJC Knives.

It's an adaptation of the lines of the Canoe pattern to a little pocketable 3" fixed blade.

I like that bigger Roselli: just enough of a finger-stopper.

Yep, the handle is the same as in Roselli Hunter. I gave one to my friends father-in-law who is an experienced moose hunter. He said later that the shape and the steel worked very well in skinning moose. Later I gave the same kind of knife to this friend of mine as he started to hunt in the same group.

 

[ISKRA]

All my knives are non-America, except for the two Cases I have.


SAKs; Victorinox and Wenger

Solingen (Germany); Giesen & Forsthoff, Carl Schlieper, Linder

Russia; Iskra

Japan; unknown maker (to me)

No markings, most probably Eastern European

Ugh, all of the blond horn traditional Italian knives are killling me. So pretty. I've been researching regional Italian knives and by far blond horn is my favorite handle material.

My meager offerings to this thread:

Hungary:

Switzerland

England
Oops, the only photo of the entire knife I have handy is with Victoria above.

France

Germany
I have lots of Germany from JA Henckels collecting, but I'll use this as an excuse to share my newest.

 

[5K Qs]

I have a couple of German knives: a Mercator Black Cat and an Otter work knife.
