Holy Crap

I have been trying to login for three days, emailed customer support, tried resetting my password and using a unusually large number of cuss words. I finally figured out the right combination. I have been working on volume three of my books on Fairbairn-Sykes knives. It is focused on 2nd and 3rd patterns and OSS stiletto. Volume 2 is about ready to go to print with a slight delay. what this has made me realize is the breadth and depth of my collection. This is good for you the readed but terrible for my checking account. Right now I owe a friend for a dagger and sales of my knives have been very lethargic. If you see something on here i have for sale, ask me. Maybe I can do better on price. NONE of the F-S are for sale or the agents knives. So please do not ask. 

Anyway I am glad to be able to login again and will post more later. I have a good friend who I am going to begin teaching knife defense. It has been a long time since I taught because of the "plandemic." It ought to be fun to teach again. He wants an alternative to using a handgun for defense. Today legal gunowners are under tremendous attack from the government. Always have a "plan B." 

​Here is one of my original O.S.S. daggers. It belonged to an agent serving in the CBI theater or combat.

This is the knife I need to pay off. It is a Paisley (yes Ron I know he didn't exist). The person I am buying it from bought it in a Trade Fair in London in the 1990s. It is unique in several ways that confound me. It has "WSC" stamps on the blade and "30946" on the grip, along with "008" on the side edge of the ricasso. The WSC is not for Wilkinson Sword, but then maybe it is. I don't know what to say about this knife. It is a very nicely converted 1903 Lee-Metford bayonet. ​

    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.
