EEEEEEEEEK!!!!!
 Its a time warp.......'and slowly I turned...step by step....inch by inch!!!!!' You will have to see the 'classic threads' archive under SHAVER KOOL....for the immortal thread that lasted years, beginning close to a decade ago. As near as anyone discovered, the Indonesian navy had some sort of 'sword of honor' termed 'pedang kehormatan' in one of the final throes of this record breaking thread...........we dont know what ever became of Mikey....possibly the Foreign Legion? All the best, Jim |

And just when you thought it was safe to go back to look at ebay...
Shaver 'not-so-cool' is back! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....id=p2759.l1259  "Old Sword From 1700's VOC Dutch Trading Company" "Don't know much about this sword it came from my great grandads shed.(edit: Must be a long line of teenage pregnancies in this mob!) I did some reseach (edit: Oh really???  ) and its from a dutch trading company called voc which was an acronym for something (WTF?? ). it has nice engraving on the blade and the handle has it also. It also has "shaver cool" engraved on the blade which was apparently common and done by navy boys back in those days.(edit: well, that just explains it all the doesn't it!) but i could not find out much else than that about it sorry guys." ..........so bid with CON fidence!Och NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
