All of them rare to unique!

Wow! Those are some incredible pieces, Larry! Thanks for sharing. :respect

The Mosquito is like the holiest of holy grail knives in my book! I love those little things.

That Dragonfly is just stunning too!

Wait, the Mosquito was made like that? I thought it was an over-sharpened Manbug or something. What an interesting knife.

Yeah, those were weird little knives, weren't they?


That Dragonfly is simply beautiful. Someone did a masterful job on that knife.

It started out life as an ordinary Ladybug. Sal either reground it or had it reground (I suspect Roque actually did them) to remove the edge. It was intended for dealing with pickpockets, using it like a hatpin. Hurt like the dickens, but intended to be non-lethal. He gave them out as gifts at the Amsterdam meet.

I've made a couple of my own that I use a lot for other things. Not many professional pickpockets around here.
