Hi rbminis,

Your new Demag and Eickhorn are great. The frog on the Eickhorn is a nice bonus. I've got an identical Demag, these mint ones supposedly came onto the market some years ago from an arsenal horde out of Turkey. The story is they were supplied by the Germans but never used.

I've been building a little collection, and if there's one piece of advice I could humbly offer, that's to buy knives in the best condition you can. There are enough of them out there. Re-tipped blades, repros, damaged or incorrect scabbards, etc. won't sell as well in the future and as you go along you may not be happy with ones with condition issues. (I speak from experience )
