Roman Army Knife
on: January 30, 2010, 11:41:47 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.

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.

Not to mention the one with the BO model with cap crimper cut-out in the spoon, not that it'd reduce the spoonability of it... *cough*cap crimper pliers*cough*.  ::)
