I don't know. I bought it in a german antique shop for 20 bucks.

.


Made a quick search, found this:

It looks similar to this bajonet from 1895: http://www.horsesoldier.com/products/edged-weapons/bayonets/26144

Should have been put on the Chilean 7mm Mauser then. :thumbup:

Can anyone read Japanese?  I’ve often wondered what it says.

hey, that's a super nice piece.  :thumbup: :thumbup: i thought it looked like one of the earlier models but didn't want to show my ass because i know verrry little about them.  having the scabbard is crucial.  you should look into the correct way to protect it from further corrosion.  thanks for sharing!

My grandpa had one of those flags on the wall my whole life and when he passed my brother took possession of it.

My brother sent it to the Obon Society to check it out and they said it was a forgery made by Japanese citizens to sell or trade to US GI's.

He donated it to them.

The orange scales I use at work, the other is my edc.



Nice blades Lector!


Given the blade style chances are you would probably LOVE the Fallkniven F1





Its a legit Swedish Air Force fighter pilot knife, so a modern combat knife. It has VG10 steel sandwiched inbetween softer steel, its convex (opposite to a straight razor) so it has a LOT of blade strength, people use it for bushcraft, literally stick it between two stones and use it as a step-up. Very good all-weather grip.


Thank you,
I've always wanted a Falkniven, I really been looking at the Pro series. The price of the Pros is what stops me from buying one.

Fleabag Friend said:
Lector, that orange esee looks like it's been sharpened quite a bit more than the other. Always good to see so much use on a blade. I been thinking about picking up a smaller fixed blade to carry on me during the day.

Thank you,
Yes, the orange one I use at work in a warehouse where it gets used a lot and dropped countless times. So needless to say it's seen stones more than I'd like, repairing it from hitting the concrete (once off a scissor lift). I tried a folder for a day and went back to a fixed blade because it's easier for me to reach and quicker because of muscle memory.

Let's try to make this the most epic knife topic of the Internet :awecid:







A RESPECTFUL APPROXIMATION OF CHOJI OIL

In maintaining a Daishō of Katana - Wakizashi - Tanto the Japanese use a weapon oil called Choji oil. This Choji oil often comes in little bottles for big prices, and it of course matters which family made the blade and which family made the oil but - for less traditional people lacking the precise nuances that come with maintaining a Daisho properly, or who own swords not of Japan or blades of other types entirely, Choji oil is alluring but, rather costly, and in many cases overshoots the mark, perhaps like pouring champagne into a styrofoam cup.

So, an alternative to Choji oil.

Choji oil is best defined as mineral oil containing 1/100 to 1/10 of its volume of essential oil of cloves.

One should strive for perfection in the details in important matters, so the oil base is best procured as pharmaceutical (human or veterinary) grade liquid paraffin. Essential oil of cloves, likewise, is readily obtained, so combining the two in proper proportion (1-10%) in essence would produce a passable substitute for Choji oil.

Go beyond the generic, however.

Since you're making homemade Choji oil, it should be "of the house", in other words, distinctive.

Since you will be making the oil for maintaining the blades of your family, which includes kitchen knives (hence, pharmaceutical grade paraffin oil - honor your blade and yourself with the finest ingredients, foodgrade and up) it needs a bit more than the combination of liquid paraffin and clove oil.

Is there a flower in particular, that has relevance to you or your family? If so, add a fraction of the essential oils of these flowers relative to the clove oil, so that the clove oil remains the main additive to the carrier oil, which is the liquid paraffin.

If there are very specific flowers you wish to include (such as one of a wedding bouquet, flowers from the family garden or even, a flower from the casket of a deceased relative) one can soak the flower whole in the paraffin for a week in the dark to extract its essence into the paraffin, then retrieve the flower and add the clove oil and minor essential oil additives to complete the Choji oil.

Choji Oil must be kept in glass, pottery or metal, in the dark, in a cool place of stable temperature, such as a basement, and should have an indefinite shelf life that way.

Make sure to not use essential oils that stain, and if the Choji Oil is to be used for weaponry with precision moving parts, such as firearms, make sure that your process of manufacture doesn't taint the oil with small particles, for smooth operation.

When a Katana or Wakizashi is drawn, there is a faint, unique fragrance that is released, sharpening the senses, which to the warrior wielding the weapon is an important sensory cue. This is afforded by the odorific components of the Choji oil, and is a true delight in weapons handling.

In addition, the clove oil acts as a local anesthetic so that the choji oil not just honors the sword and the one wielding it, but also honors the flesh of the opponent which it severs. Honorable behavior goes in al directions, so make sure to honor your Choji oil, itself, by making it the finest you can make it.

Most people the world over never oil their blades, with properly made Choji oil, at least your eye and nose will appreciate the gesture, and with a refined scent of personal significance, it will add reward to the task of maintaining your blades.

Watch this Japanese guy restore this complete nightmare of a thoroughly rusted but high quality Japanese chef's knife into a mirror finish blade looking finer and breathtakingly sharper than regular storebought knives.

Visually pleasing wordless tutorial.

LogicalChaos really beautiful knife you have there, I love the Tanto point it has, really brutal, very unfortunate about the sawteeth, they detracvt from the beauty of the design.

Also funny you postyed that, I just bought a rainbow flicker myself, first rainbow metal blade I ever owned.

I saw it, I wanted it.

It says nothing abpout your knife but I wanted a *gay* knife, and whats gayer than a spring assisted stiletto style rainbow flicker? (flikker = faggot in Dutch)

Heres a stock image from the Internet:







Taste the rainbow mothafx0rs ^_^

My daily carry is  Kershaw Ken Onion Leek matte black

First time I opened it the spring in the speed open was so strong and the light oil caused it to flip out of my hand and stab into my thigh while I was sitting at the desk

Taste the rainbow :grin:





Here's my Tac-Force Napoli with rainbow finish, glistening fragrantly with Choji blade Oil which did a great job on assisting the assisted opening with some needed lubrication.

I removed the belt clip on the back, as you definitely wouldnt wear this on your belt or CC it where I live!

Contrary to its Italian Stiletto looks, its an assisted opening knife, you flick it with your finger which is just as easy, with the added bonus of being a legal blade in my jurisdiction as opposed to an illegal one.
For ease if use it makes no real difference.

Sturdy design, nice liner lock, first Ti-anodized knife I ever owned, comes in 440 Stainless, point's almost as pointy as my Fairbairn-Sykes, edge is fairly sharp for a cheap, factory sharpened tool, its 100% stainless steel, no aluminum quickies were pulled, very sturdy, lanyard-holesd pommel would be good as a yawara.

Satisfied :heart:

Evening y’all,

So, went looking for my Arkansas whetstones, and found some cool shit I forgot I had.

First off the whetstones.  I had a whole set of these at one point. A total of four.  I could only find this one.



As far as I’m concerned one can get to better sharpening stones.

Ok now the cool stuff. 

This is a preindustrial era cutlery set from Japan.  The chopsticks are bone and the scabbard ray skin.  The knife has a tanto point.



This is a Burmese Dha knife.  Unfortunately the scabbard has been lost.  The handle is elephant ivory and the blade about 10 inches.  The bolster is silver.  Judging by the patina of the ivory I’d say it’s at least 100 years old probably more like 150.



Thanks for looking,
Gnome
