Your Manurhin must be worth a fair bit, they did not make many of them.
Still I'd rather have a Lockheed P38. Good looking plane albeit crap over Europe but it did well in the Pacific theatre apparently.

Pop flew P-38 Lightning and later A-26 Night Raider.
The P-1 is a nice ergonomic pistol. Just a P-38 with an alloy frame. I don't care what it is worth, it was my first semi-auto.

You would appreciate the Diamond blade knives. They use friction forging to give an edge with 65 RC and still are flexible. A meeting between a knife maker and a scientist at a fund raiser led to the company being formed.

I didn't know those knives with the marlinspike" were so curent ??
This one is cool... and made in Japan, very cool with its full inox look while certainly is more ferrous (carboned I mean) !

when it's too much hard, it holds the edge but it chips, no ???
A friend of mine has Microtech and told me he liked that steel in it because the equilibrium of the metal for a knife...
Usually it will chip but the new process leaves a very fine grain structure and prevents chipping. At least the advertisements and reviews say. I have a couple of the original companies knives I really like but haven’t sprung for a new one.
diyiggy, that one is not that current. I probably got it in the late 80's or early 90's. My cousin gave it to me. I think it was a navy issue one (he was in the Navy).

My everyday is a Ruko 3.5” gut hook, single blade, liner lock. Handy as I can open it one handed before it exits my coat pocket.
Damn...
So the one with the very little " blade was my gran grand farher edc...a traditional chestnut opener to make a cut to prevent the chestnuts to explode when coocking on a grill...

That takes me back, my dad would find American chestnuts when he was hunting. He always cut the little tip off and roasted them on our Warm Morning stove. Fond memories.
🙂 that is all it is about I believe in the thread...these things are reminder. Most of the time we don t need it as a tool or to defend ourselves but if you live in a jungle. But they carry the beauty of a tool that someone needed it, be it from family or not and all the care that was involved in it when made by someone...look at the damascus when it it is made by hand with many folded and hitted layers...🙂
focused on the damascus one... that's beautifull !
Here few edc, used two of them (the corks ones) and it's not 21 PM yet😎
Guess what the one with the very short big and thick blade and its boxwood handle is ?
that looks like a wood carving knife they are made in a wide variety of blade shapes. I guess I have no idea how to attach a picture oh well.
