^Sounds interesting! Post some pictures. And whatever you do do not try and clean the patina off of them!

Being in So Florida I gotta keep up on the rust factor.
Any mineral oil (or others) suggestions from you fine folks?
Civivi Elementum:
Brass handle/Coated D2 blade.
Excellent action on this flipper.
Nice factory edge, not razor sharp but sharp enough.
Liner lock, blade is centered.
Lightest knife I own plus a deep pocket clip and a sturdy D2 blade equals a strong case for EDC.
I really like the brass handle.
I don't like how the clip feels in my hand while in certain cutting angles. I'll have to work on that. Overall pretty happy with the Elementum.

My Uncle Bill brought this Japanese Type 30 Bayonet (for Arisaka Rifles), back from the war.
He was in the Navy so he probably traded something for it or just bought it.

You know what the side groove is for, right? Clue, not weight saving.
Not only am I impressed with some of your knives, but your avatar of the old 7-up ad caught my eye. Googled it!
Good ole 7up
I have a few.
Here's my yellow knife.
If I ever move to The Nortwest Territories, I'll be all set!

I would like a Laguiole, I've always liked the lines and little history of that knife. Never really had any distribution here but there is some now. The third image down by 'Design'.

This one gets a lot of use. Could use a bit of tlc right now. Nothing fancy, but it's never let me down. Been in my pocket every day for about 4 years now.
I bought a couple of Bowie-style hunting/display knives at a local auction. They're imported and have colorful stained wood handles, and they're really more display pieces than "carry" knives, as one is 14" and one is 16".
I figured out later that I didn't need them, so I tried listing them on Facebook's marketplace and the listings were immediately rejected. Craigslist is also out. Guess I'll have to Ebay them.
It never occurred to me that something like those would be a problem. They're definitely not the kind of thing that anyone would use as a concealed weapon. (Unless you consider something the size of a short sword to be a concealed weapon...)

Thanks. It's a Civivi Brigand.
I'm liking the Brigand so much that I'm thinking of getting the Damascus version as well.
