I never understood the obsession for gear that was not modded when most of them were. I can see them being worth more than modified one but definitely not 10 times as much. The Ross bayonets with...

There is a good market for honest repros but if this is how bad the business is being how about the secondary market? I like to collect military knives but the market for anything German is so insane...

SA-80 Bayonet, USMC Combat ,Mark3 Mod0 ,Buck 119 ,Pilots Survival
Technically the Buck 119 is not a military knife but it is in...
I read about this one on a good FS site but I could be wrong. I thought that the reason the FS had a bad rep was because US made versions were made mostly by German immigrants who sabotaged the heat...
Anything with a canadian history but particularly SMLE's. I just love that snub nose. I would love a modern black synthetic tanker version in .308.
I also like stuff from the soviets but don't own...
It does not matter how dangerous the place is ,if your there to give the guy in charge a lot of US dollars for what to him is a pile of junk you are going to be safer than in Toronto. Probably the...
I went a bit nuts on the CGN exchange but I got some great stuff and some great deals. I am especially happy with the 1888 Lee bayo. It is marked 3-99
so is 108 years old and is in fantastic...
Even if all the marks are correct it could still be a fake. All it would take is a 1907 where the quillion had been removed and then replace the guard with one with a quillion. Then all the markings...
It would depend what war we were talking about. The FS was very popular in WW2 with all the Commonwealth forces and the Canadians were no different.
There were even Canadian issue sheaths for the...
I would like to see all the serving soldiers get a first rate fighting/using knife.
Something made of decent steel with a single edged blade with good geometry and a symmetrical spear point. It...
That is the flawed US copy of the Sykes Fairbain dagger. It was poorly made unlike the brit version and is one of the reasons the FS does not have a good rep in the US. There was some suspicion that...
That was a fantastic post PIC! Very eloquent. It reminded me of the way Ed Fowler writes about knives and hand made tools with a sense of history and respect.
We need much bigger photos though....
I heard that the carbon steel Ghromans are made for trappers who want a softer easier to sharpen knife and most people are much better off with the stainless.
A friend of mine(a Yank actually) has a...
I am a fan of the No4 custom Parker Hale rifles. They are a nice custom rifle built on a surplus Enfield action. The best ones which it sounds like you have are the custom no 4's which have PH...
It would take me several hours to root through the chaff but I am sure I could fill the back of a toyota pickup with some goodies. There was a huge stack of no4's and PPSH's.
I also found it...
Do they have a store or are they strictly internet/mailorder? I live in Prince Albert and if there is a store that sells Milsurps and M305's that I could go in and paw the merchandise without buying...
My friend has a FR marked No1 Mark 3 and under the FR mark there is a '39
,presumably the year of manufacture. Bubba had a fairly light touch on this one
with just the wood around the front of the...
Here we have the most common CF issued fixed blade ,the Grohman boat knife.
It is one of the most practical fixed blade military knives ever issued and the least threatening looking. It is also nice...
I think I may be able to help.
Here is a knife that was a semi official private purchase from SwampRat by
2CER field Squadron ,Combat Engineers....
Thanks for the link I got some neat pics and some info I was looking for.
I would suggest taking it to a reputable dealer like ninhonto.ca and seeing if they are interested in consigning it. That way it is in their best interest to get you the best price and they have the...
F/S daggers ,older late 19th and early 20th century bayos, period pics of the knives being used, com bloc knives and bayonets and any quirky expiremental
ones that did not make it into production.
Is that F/S on the right one with the knurled grip like an epee? The F/S knives got a short shift because the later knives were made with shortcuts for wartime manufacture. I even heard a rumor that...
I just finished typeing about how much I liked sword bayos on the swiss thread when I saw this one. Bayonets are making a comeback in todays armys not sword bayos unfortunatly but for transport of...
Are those ever some attractive looking pieces I can see why they cost so much.
I have been hankering after a enfield sword bayonet for a while now. I like the art deco K98 bayos as well.
