- About Me
- Knife collector from birth :D I don't remember the time when I don't carry a knife in my pocket. You know in USSR everything was like a gift! I remember when I get my first folding pocket knife! It was old Solingen knife, made by Balke&Shaaf (sheep on wooden stand) specially for J. Redlich store in Riga. Oh knife was a dream for small 6 years old boy. When I was going to sleep I was putting knife under the pillow :D
I wasn't a good knife user, I was using it like a crazy. I was throwing it into wooden doors (thats how knife loose small pen blade). Than I and my friends was playing a knives (game where was a circle draw on the ground 2 and more players, each get a piece of circle. Throw the knife into opponent piece of ground to make your piece bigger), maybe I will tell you more about this game!
Now each knife is valued for me, I carry them the best way I can!
Some time a go I start to make my own fixed blade knives, my first is miniature "micro Bushman" knife, but I hope some day I will make something normal size, not for selling (so far), just for me :)

Hallo knife manufacturers and knife collectors. Many of you know that many knives are manufactured in Asia countries, like China, we all have seen inscription on blades Made in China. Usually these knives are cheap, because workforce and materials are cheap!
I'm not a big fan of China, and I don't live in this country, I live in Latvia, that’s why I'm offering knife manufacturers, to open a factory's in Latvia! We have a cheap workforce (many people…

FeaturedBob Biggs said… Hi Ivars the only blade rub is on the tip of the main blade where it rubs against the tang of the clip blade,the same as the Northfield Geppetto. I had intended to treat myself to another GEC knife for Christmas there is a #45 Roughneck mammoth ivory priced at £425 ($684) on the only UK dealership how about that ? LOL..I think i am more likely to buy a Spyderco.

FeaturedBob Biggs said… Hi Ivars well spotted yes the Northfield has a little clip blade and i must say it is a delight to use i have carried it a lot although i have gone back to my little Spydies lately.
Just another dig at the forum knife the engraving is wrong the i on the badge is upper case as in IKC it should be iKC but hey i think we have given GEC enough grief, cheers mate...
By the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY...
