great video..... thank you Sir.

Very nice

lol You're a dork, Robert. *haha* But in a good way! Nice piece there. Indeed, very familiar with it, too. That one was loved and used by its owner. You can see where on the edge.....that he did the majority of his cutting. That piece was actually over sharpened, just a tad. *lol* If he had known or cared too, to learn how to strop his edge, it wouldn't look like that. Myself, I'd lose the bale on it.....serves no purpose to most men, unless you just wanted to keep the original look. But every knife "tells a story" towards a trained eye, that's why knives are cool IMO. Yeah - the ones (back in the day) made in Germany are indeed well put together. I'd be curious to know EXACTLY whereabouts in S. Africa are they made now and what one looks and feels like. Like you noted, *many many* lives have been lost to that particular model of knife. Thanks for showing it and sharing the story of the, Okapi. Every knife tells a story. :o)

@@knivesarecoolandaxestoo2946 Heck yes it was a compliment! *haha* Love you, Robert. *lol*

I am from South Africa. In my country this is very cheap knife. Many a black or coloured has been stabbed with it. There is racial joke that a coloured man is presumed to be born with a Okapi in his pocket. The okapi is a deer from Central Africa and not from South Africa.
