Description

The listing, Two pocket knives Vintage Irsish steel versus Modern Chinese has ended.

You're bidding on two pocket knives. The black handled one is a "Kamp King" by Imperial, this one was made in Ireland. The blue handled one is Chinese copy of the venerable Swiss Army knife. NOT THE REAL DEAL. Frankly, while somewhat useable, the Chinese copy is no where near the quality of a Victrinox or Wenger real deal knife. The old Kamp King still has a bit of pitting and discoloration on the blades, but they've been cleaned up as well as possible without actually taking any metal away. The handle has been remade, by me, and it's not perfect either, but the originals weren't either. I could fuss with it until the handle was perfect, but the knife will never be perfect, so I'm not going to spend all that time and trouble on it. It's a good quality knife, it'll do any job it's made for, and probably some it really isn't. The blades have good snap, and the main knife blade is diamond honed to a very sharp edge. The China knife, well I tried, but it doesn't sharpen easily. That's usually a good sign, the more difficult it is to put an edge on a blade, the longer it will keep it once you do. However, I'm not thinking that's the case this time. It's a China knife, I think the quality simply isn't there. There you have it, bid high, bid often. Free shipping at 6000 points. Otherwise, it's 5 bucks via paypal. If you don't have paypal, don't bid. I will except no excuses, no cash in the mail, nothing else, unless of course it goes over the 6000.
