I recently purchased an antique knife at a yard sale. I can not find any info about the knife.The blade says Solingen on one side (I know what that is) and on the other side it says IMCO Implement Co. Germany, it also has a stag handle that could have been a replacement. Any info regarding knife would be great. Thanx.

ShadowDemon asked:

I am a collector and I love swords and knifes, can’t seem to find a website where I can buy a butterfly knife and a switchblade knife, there are only for display in my game room next to my gun collection and antiques, I think they are illegal, never really checked with the authorities about what kind of knifes I can have, just need a site that would carry both this types of knives.

Beef asked:

I own a set of throwing knives but have no clue how to properly throw them. How am I supposed to hold them, what type of action do I use to throw them, etc? A web site with pictures on how to do this would be of great help.
Oh, and please no crappy sarcastic answers like “you throw them” and don’t copy-paste a wiki page if one exists. Thanks.
