Re: for the next hundred years

just have it with me to be dressed decent not to show of, its only for me. nine of ten will see it as a bloody old knife asking themself what it will be worth on ebay. dont think you can impress the 21. century man with such stuff because you must be into vintage to have some sense for such things.




over the last hundered years it have lost some mm blade length but the rest is still enough. such knifes were sold as hunting Knicker for killing wounded game but I dont ever had the need for this.
I think that modern ammuntion kills much cleaner than the old blackpowder cartridges and such Knicker became out of use with the time. but the Knicker was also a universal tool you could use for anything from cuting branches to blind a stand or tighten screws on the gun up to cuting sausages.
In 1914 there were not so many choices for a knife so you bought a Knicker from a mailorder catalog what was than the "internet".
