The MT knives shown here belonged to a Dutch forum member who wasn't really experienced in photographing his knives, describing & measuring them, as well as putting them up on a forum, so he asked me to do that for him a while ago.
Because he had quite a special collection (most are sold now because auto's are illegal to own in the Netherlands now) i wanted to show them here as well.
