[NBK] Schwarz Knives Lost Trail 5 Review

One of the Most Thought Out Camping Knives I’ve Ever Used As the biggest fixed blade made by Schwarz knives so far, I had some big expectations about the Lost Trail 5, especially because TJ Schwarz gave a detailed run down of the knife when he announced it. The short version of that video is ... Read more

Veteran designer Ostap Hel will soon see his latest fixed blade design roll out in collaboration with Real Steel Knives. The Astral is a full-on tactical design, an angular take on the classic two-edged dagger. The Astral seems designed to be a discreet, low-profile piece, but looking at pictures it’s got a blade shape that’s […]

I am a new menber living in the Intermountain West (Eastern Washington) USA.
I don't forge myself because I'm old and can't take the heat and that much hard work.
   I got interested in knife forums when I decided I didn't really care for the ergonomoics of alot of the knives I owned. I use others blades and make handles to suit my hands, uses etc.. I also like to buy old knives and cutlery in need of help and return them to their former usefulness and beauty.

I have a number of replica swords, but at least one real sword. Some day I’d like someone who knows to evaluate it. 

My grandfather did some photography, or maybe painting, work for someone a very long time ago. He was a photographer and painter- mainly painted models such as anatomical models for med students and murals for museums. The guy couldn’t pay, so he traded a sword instead. Gramp took it, but it was of no value to him (or, apparently, any of his sons) so my dad (his son-in-law) ended up with it.

It appears to have been a Spanish naval officer’s sword. The edge has no nicks or gouges so it apparently never was in a real fight? For its age, and with no care at all, the steel is very bright- probably high nickel content.
