WOW! I never imagined how hard it would be to get registered and post listings on Amazon. I've been working on this on and off for a couple weeks. So far I have one book listed as an exercise in frustration. It is my text book on gas compressors, from when I was teaching at college. I hope to get my gas engine text book listed next. Hopefully the sales of them will offset the cost of being a seller. The F-S books are my real love.

Anyway I am learning and struggling with the ins and outs of it all. There must be hundreds of pages and links yet to explore. No fun! Keep the faith, once I get this all figured out i hope to get more Clandestine Knives books printed and we are still forging ahead with the next volume on X-daggers and shanghai daggers. This book is going to make the heads of the "experts" explode! I just love it and so will you. Ron, if you're reading this you might want to buy a roll of duct tape. Thanks to all of you who have visited us here and shared your photos, and knowledge. Thanks also to all of you who have purchased our knives or books.

This beautiful knife was a gift to Thomas Mason from William Fairbairn himself. It is one of the very early Metford-Fairbairns. These knives make the Wilkinson First Patterns seem anemic.

    You can find out more about me on the "Stories" pages. My hobbies have included training in Japanese martial arts, including Kenjutsu, many forms of knife fighting, long range rifles and tactical firearms. I have written several self published books on muzzle-loading firearms, knife-fighting and textbooks on gas engines and compressors. I am working diligently on my 400+ page F-S book.
