Roman Army Knife
« on: January 30, 2010, 10:41:47 pm »
I friend pointed me to this link:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1247230/The-Roman-Army-Knife-Or-ingenuity-Swiss-beaten-1-800-years.html

I seriously doubt that will ever show up on eBay.

That blade looks a bit rough. :-\ I wonder if they would still fix it under warranty? :D

I saw pics of this a few years back along with a guy who'd made replicas of it in brass and silver.  Anyone got a link (to the replicas), I can't find it any more.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.
