IMO trap spring knives are best used as display knives. Those ones in that picture certainly would qualify as art pieces. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

It looks like they are laying on a cutting mat like my wife uses to cut quilt squares on. They are marked in inches. Last edited by Okie Farmer; 02/27/22 10:59 AM.
