Hi
I received a nice BIG package from Palantine Illinois today containing an 1849 Ames Rifleman's Knife and an 1880 Hunting Knife / 1892 Entrenchment Knife (depends on what year it was made). These are from Windlass and are sort of poorly made, but I paid under $100 total and most other places charge substantially more for these two. Poorly made sounds like I'm not happy. These are built like a titanium outhouse. Heavy as hell and built to last, but these are NOT custom show knives. They are both HUGE by the way. Neither are sharpened, but a few months of working with the Lanzky Sharpener should work that out. The Ames Dagger is 13 inches long instead of the 12 inches it's supposed to be.
