- Hi Alex,
Would like to know the information on the green pearl switchblade knife and I see that you like German knifes. Is that just the switchblades or pocket knifes from Germany. The reason I ask is because I have a Mother of Pearl knife from Germany and was wondering if you would know about that also.?
Thanks,
Lauraetta

You are welcome to add them to that photo album if you'd like, or can start you own. We have and will be getting a lot of new members who could benefit from your knife experience, if you'd be willing to share with them (us).
Look forward to talking some more.
