    The Taylors 1000 is in mint condition, when I got her I was amazed it had never been honed, I removed the blade from the original scales just to check and clean up the pivot, replace the pins and new internal washers, the scale are 100% original, there's two faux ivory spacers holding the scale apart no wedge, it was a very luck find

    Regards Jamie..

    What a Beautiful shot with the Kamisori Bela! You sure are brave balancing that blade by those rocks, but the shell was a nice touch!

    Is the old saying true that a Swede in neeed is a Swede indeed?
    He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
    -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
