3- Sog Recon
4- KDS Tiger 9" blade (custom made)
5- Al Mar Shadow

And one of my leather holster for the Randall #1

Nice.... especially Randalls!

Careful with the skull; it'll be a hate crime to have one, soon. Be civil.


(Nice blades, BTW.:cool:)

Thank you PiterM and Dusty.

(about the skull, it is a plastic model for schools)

Best regards

Is that a real SOG knife? Thats in pretty amazing condition if so.

Those are some awesome assets to your collection, for sure. I've not seen too many shoulder holsters for blades either.

Impressive showing.:cool:

Really nice collection!

Thank you cszakolczai, Barbarian and mcarey.

I used to have almost 25 knives. I liked to show different kind of them to my students.
Then I began with military radios, so I sold some to buy radios (prc-25, prc-4600, trc 300, prc-600 and so on)

The Sog is a very first SOG Specialty knives edition. I don't know why it has a very long handle. I like this one very much. I can say it was my first "expensive" knife.

After I saw "High Art", the movie with Peter Coyote, I start looking for a leather shoulder holster. I contact Gary Randall (Randall Made owner) and he gave me the address of Greg Gutcher (Sullivan's Holster Shop) from Tampa, FL.
He made me one for an old Randall #1.

I am always making changes to my equipment, so this knife holster was not an exception.
Then I made other holsters for my other knives.

Now I am working on a leather sheath with a MOLLE system to carry my knife over the vest.

This was one photo taken to a pic I got back in 1994. My Randall # 14 when it was new.

Also a show you a pic with Gary Randall, my son and I.

Then a Greg Gutcher knife shoulder holster.
And the one I made.

Patricio;

"High Art" was released as "Exposure" over here in the states-very interesting movie with regard to the knife-fighting scenes.

Is there really a "knife culture" down your way?

You are right Dusty, the movie was released as Exposure in the USA. That movie was very well advice. Knife techniques are from Philippins' Martial Arts.

We used to have a knife culture. Our "Gauchos" where very skilled with knives. They develope this skill because knives were the only weapon they could buy or swap. Guns were very expensive (even today).

We can say that the knife techniques were a Spain fencing adaptation.
Spain also occupied the Philippins and it is possible that Kali and others martial arts also were developed or take some techniques from the same root.

That is why Gaucho knife fencing is very similar to Philippins knife techniques.

I learned knife fighting from a Philippine Martial Art Instructor, who was a Dan Inosanto's student.

Best regards,
Patricio

I'm reading about Moreiro, now. Serious warrior, he was.

Almost got to take my team to Argentina; genned up a training schedule that mostly said "de esqui". Then we got shifted to another AO, and the schedule was changed to "marcha en selva" every day for 6 weeks.

Have you read the book by Don Pentecost on knife fighting, yet?

(Probably should go to PM-I think this is verging on "chat".)

Yeah, that's prolly what Cousin Fester's gonna say about his at the Tucson trial, too.

My son with model 1

I like the Al Mar. It reminds me of the Fairborn Sykes dagger. Impressive collection though
