3 new knives: got some questions for you

[scotchleaf]

Hi: Take a look at these: All were bought at the Highly recommended Liberty Tool shop in Liberty Maine.

the top one is an old Boker USA.

The next one is marked "imperial" and appears old.

The last one was bought, despite the word "Pakistan" on the blade, because it is also marked "Solingen Stainless 440" The reverse says "Bear Hunter." Could the blade have been made in Germany, and the knife assembled in Pakistan?

can anyone tell me anything about any of these knives? Total cost was $10.

hehe, that would be nice
it is an intersting design anyway, never seen it before
it says solingen, they do make razors ...
nice deal for 10 bucks

The guy at the store, who knew something about knives, said he shaved his arm with one, after sharpening. Showed me a patch of shaved skin.

maybe you could shave with it, it depends ...
it has to do alot with the position you have to hold it, and i dont think the one in the picture can rotate that much on the handle
and you would have to strop it anyway, i dont think is that sharp right now
try it :>

10 remains a nice deal either how

but can anyone get that 440 (face) shaving sharp?
i'd think u'd need at least razor type steel for it
