Can anyone identify this? My father was an MP in WW2 and confiscated this stiletto as counterban in a bar fight. It has no markings but resemble a pool cue, but when you push a brass button in the handle the knife is revealed.

Here's 3 of my favorites:

-Gerber BMF that I bought the first year of production in 1986. I have carried this knife with me for literally thousands of miles. It was stolen and retrieved in the '90's but had a belt grinder taken to it. Sent it back to Gerber and they restored the blade @ N/C.

ESEE 5 My current EDC pack carry, goes everywhere possible with me.

The knife my Grandpa carried in the South Pacific during World War 2. A PAL RH36. I had a reproduction sheath made for it when the original fell apart after 75 years.

My real switchblade. (10in long) I bought it in a alleyway when I was vacationing in Rome, they are illegal there.
I somehow managed to get it back in checked luggage without TSA or Customs noticing it.
It's a very high quality piece.

My old wedding band was "makume" - a titanium band with folded yellow and white gold in the center, similar to this:

I miss that band. Don't miss her...but I do miss the ring.

I don't carry much in the way of knives, but I did have a customer one time who bought a Harley from me, give me a Benchmade because he was so happy with the bike I sold him. I carry that once in a while, but generally my Hellcat is more than enough for daily use :D
 
I gotta get some work done to my Western H40. I ran the tip through my fingers when I was 6 and shoved it in the sheeth the wrong way.
