What!!??!! A BUNNY KNIFE ON EVILBAY!!!???😱

[Markeologist]

Vintage, 1980’s. Hahahahaha. What does make me, Paleolithic?

Only if you are still using stone-bladed knives.

 

[JoKr]

Yup. I think I’m going to make some cosmetic changes
And as you and waynorth pointed out, it doesn’t have a center liner that separate the two blades.
The closed length is ~3 1/2” and to the bail is just shy of 4”.

that Bunny looks like a raw knife after the heat treat process and the typical cutlery process we know from some GEC tour vids.
should be a great base for modder.
thnx for your help euroken

Frank, that doesnt even make you antique
Johnnythefox

per definition 'Vintage' means older thn 20years and is also an expression for a typical style.
older thn 100 years is 'Antique'.

according to that, the seller is completely right.

Sorry Sir, but originally "vintage" refered to the Roaring Twenties (Années Vingts). So a bit more than 20 years ago.

More Taylor Eye Witness Bunny knives, price in Bunnyland $.

Pardon, monsieur,
if you see it that way, it's fine with me too. i won't argue about it.
in fashion, furniture, cars, technology and in other areas these terms are dynamic, what is current and modern today can be retro or vintage in 10-50 years, and then antique in 100 years.

for me some knife models from the early 2000s and the 1990s are already vintage.
knives from the 1920s are antique imho.

i love traditional knives!
but wait, what does traditional even mean?

Siamese barks, but they're still cats... Today vintage is often confused with retro.

Seems to me "vintage" is a broad and sometimes ambiguous term. On auction sites, "vintage" can mean whatever the seller wants it to mean, I suppose. I believe the term originated in the wine industry--maybe I will look it up later in my OED. I like this definition in Webster's Seventh Collegiate Dictionary:

"Classic" or "old-fashioned" is kind of the way I use it. I do have trouble considering anything that is only 10 or 20 years "vintage", but that's just me! (Maybe I'm "vintage" at 62!).

Very nice. I hope mine cleans up as well. Nothing wrong with Seki-City, Japan knives. I've got some very nice knives from there. Many of the early Spyderco knives were made there. Solid knives all.

i like the subtle swedges that you attached

Vintage style maybe but it’s not vintage.

Unlike most of us around here

The Japanese Bunny came in this afternoon's mail. Hopped right out of my mail box. Not a bad knife for a sub-$25.00 price. Mystery wood but a nice chunk, fit and finish is very good, action (walk & talk) is crisp with a pull of about 5 - 5.5 with a very good transition from the covers to the bolsters. It's got a spay blade and I kinda like that. Pretty sharp but will touch it up tomorrow. No middle liner between the blades but don't foresee that as a problem down the road. Don't plan on using it much but it's always nice to have an oddity in the knife box

Ken euroken - I don't have scales so I can't measure the weight of my knife but it feels light in my hand. More so than other two-blade knives I have.

Sounds like the definition for about 2/3 of the porch membership! (Including myself). oH

You are right. I just weighed the BF bunny and the 'Vintage' bunny

BF forum knife is 2.2 oz vs 'vintage' 2.3 oz. Given the 'vintage' is two blade config and 'heftier' than the BF bunny, it is extremely light. In comparison, my two blade rosewood small lambsfoot comes in at a whopping 3.4 oz.

Thanks for bearing me out. I thought for a second that the Vintage Bunny had an aluminum frame. Those A. Wright two blade Lambfoot knives are tanks - most likely impossible to kill one of them.
