every country I travel to, I collect a traditional pocket knife from. I was just in portugal a month ago - and realized, I had forgotten to pick one up! great series, information that needs to be preserved imo. love it, thx
Look up the New Zealand Svord folding knife. It's a small knife copied from ~1500s German/Italian large folding grip-"locking" knives. It's clever but some handle ergonomics are off (the blade lever is ok, just the rest of the handle). Others: Mercator Black Cat locking, Higo No Kami with a small grip locking feature (creates image of mt fuji when partly open, dual steel blade forging, I like it better than the dukduk knife story), Barlow pattern from the 1600s (my father bought several Kmart $2.50 barlows over the years when I was growing up on the farm that got abused under hard use and only replaced after the second blade broke).

Thanks, I appreciate it. That’s a great collection you are amassing!
Awesome Series🤟
Great video that knife is definitely a piece of art work would carry every day
Thanks!

My next video is on higonokami, I think it airs tonite at midnight. I have a svord in the works now. Totally agree on the dukduk, thanks!
Love the history and your research into these knives!
Joker knife also makes knife like that
I’ll check those out, thanks for watching!
Hello, that knife isn't a MAM, all portuguese knives of that style have a full blade and don't have a ricasso
Thank you, yes I know, I cannot make a MAM knife. I do not live anywhere near Portugal and I don’t work at the MAM factory! 😉
