Third Pattern FS Fighting Knife

[A.J. Zawadzki]

Are you serious Are these miniature knives?????

Exactly my reaction after viewing the pictures. At first glance I thought you were launching into a new endeavor, production of full size 3rd pattern replicas.

To echo Walkwolf’s comment, the mark of the craftsman’s skill is when a miniature cannot be differentiated from its full size counterpart. Truly amazing work Ralph!

Best,

Wow, I thought they were full size knives as well! As a former machinist I can appreciate the work that goes into making such things in a small scale! Outstanding work!
There is a company in Russia, if I remember correctly, that makes fully functional miniature copies of historic firearms. They are quite something.
Again, outstanding work Ralph!

Hi Ralph,
I've been working mega overtime so this is the first I have seen of this thread.
I knew you were working on these for a while and I would like to say that your
time and efforts have paid off well. They are amazing. Please let me be the first
to place an order for one.

Very Well done my friend

Thank you Greg!
I appreciate your comments!
I was wondering where you have been recently, I was just about to send you a message to make sure that all was okay. Glad to hear that it is!
Unfortunately, they are currently not for sale until I can work out the riveting issues. I wouldn't sell anything that I would not be happy with myself. I need to feel that they are reliable before I could let any go.
