Scoman - pardon for the thread interruption, do you remember where you got the German seamans knife?

Cheers

Should the damascus sale fall through, I'll take it

[SCOMAN]

Kawasemi I think I got it in plymouth in a surplus shop or car boot sale but I remember some of the dabbers having them on board. The knife had what looked like stores details etched on and the sheath had "made in Germany on it". The scales are a light wood with stain applied. Both knives are sold and will be in the post tomorrow. Alecf I see you're a maker, if you are interested in a Damascus I know a guy that does them down Dorset way, could be expensive though .

[alecf]

Yeah I know a couple of places I can get some damascus, but I'm just perfecting my skills with O1 first to limit expensive mistakes. You had a bargain though

Kawasemi. That German Seaman's knife is identical to one I've used for 30 years, mine's carbon steel though and any markings are long gone. I have a vague memory that it was made by a German firm called something like Meisener or Meisern, which I think supplied the fishing industry, here as well as on the continent. I think I bought it up the East Coast somewhere, Great Yarmouth possibly, in a fisherman's supply shop. 19/6d I think... Sorry can't be more precise.


PS I amaze myself sometimes, can't remember what happened yesterday but remember 25 years back plus.

Try Baconsdozen (note spelling) 13 Waveney Road, Lowestoft. Suffolk..(Right opposite the old fishdock)

Thanks Wicca and Scoman for the info. Spader, (sorry - bit cheeky) if you ever get bored with it just drop me a pm

Bump. Both sharpening kits are still available and are a bargain. Both are great kits and allow a level of refinement in sharpening that is a bit beyond my skill. Cheaper than eBay and neither have been used much. If anyone wants to trade for a kit I'm after a 1pt Kelly(not a Swiss volcano).

and they are nice. I have a couple of Damascus blades for project - but this one seems have higher craftmanship on the blade. A bit of grind on the ironwood & sheaths will finish it off to quite nice one.

The german seamans knife is also nice - comfy handle and quite well balanced blade.

Thanks for the great deal & fast shipping Scoman.

Kind regards from Spader.
