Here ya go ;D Here's some of my stuff, I have some knifes too. (I love switchblades) ;D Anyhow, I have some good stuff and some low-end stuff, it all looks good to me though. This is some of my good stuff. The two swords were in fact made in Spain and the dagger is an officially licensed Harley dagger made in USA. This is a medium-quality knife, I think my wife bought it at the mall Low-end stuff gets offended hanging next to this junk (Pakistan) This is about as high end as I go. There are a ton of knock-offs out there but these are certified US Marine uniform swords made in Spain, an officers sword and an NCO sword. These are my favorites.... This is my Conan sword. It's the low-end knock-off from Hell. ;D It's long, heavy, and I got it (with shipping) for 15 bucks!! I have stock in Pakistan. lol.... Yep, Pakistan ;D Made and purchased in Japan....

Very cool collection Randy! Really like the military pieces and the Damascus blade especially! I sold off almost all my military stuff and most my modern blades before our move. Just too darn much stuff to carry back and forth myself as I could not trust the movers. They did pay for a little of the cost of moving though *S*. I did keep a replica knife ( Quincy's Bowie) from the Bram Stoker Dracula movie ( I loved that knife!) and a nice little stiletto. Also kept all my field use knives, my butterfly knife collection and most my antique blades. Those I pictured are all 18th century pieces as that was kind of the heyday of blades in India but what I really love are the African and SE Asian primitives which are all individually hand made for a single person and quite unique....Mel

Nice collection Randy, My oldest son used to collect knives, swards and daggers but with all his moving around, I think he put the breaks on his collecting for now. Some he bought while we were in Israel so they were like most of the Pakistan stuff. Still, neat looking. Fran

Did you get to see Jeruselem and Bethlehem? Those are cool places, I went in 1983 in my younger Navy days. I signed up for all of the tours because they were only 10 or 15 bucks and it sure beat sitting in a bar like most of my buddies did.
