As always - Great work.

I would suggest / ask if you would add one thing to the table - the country for each knife - USA carbon v, japan, taiwan, china etc

Hope it helps (and not a critique)

Thanks, and I had thought about that, but I'm not actually sure where the 420 and Krupp ones were made....guessing either China or Taiwan, but not sure.

[nephron]

They did do one so there is hope.

 

[nephron]

Wow, this is so informative, wonder if it could be a sticky for all to enjoy.

 

[jencarlos]

hopefully you guys are right and this will be made a sticky soon

 

[nephron]

I think I may have found my first Peacekeeper in San Mai. Good info. on it here.

 

[nephron]

Finally found one (San Mai Peacekeeper I)reasonable so I thought I would include some pix with this fine thread. I included a picture with a Japan (not San Mai darn it, can't find one reasonable)Taipan for comparison.

 

[nephron]

Just picked up another Peacekeeper I, but in AUS8. Sticky time here.

 

[jencarlos]

Maybe too many stickies now? This should be one too. I wonder if OP could put all of the histories under one sticky if it would help to get this one there.
