I know but you can get a decent knife for £100 or so, a watch, not so much! I've done lots of reading today...

Link to pic of knife?
Wife got me a Vitamix blender. My old blender had been going for many years and wouldn't die, so I couldn't justify the Vitamix. Now one of my daughters has my old blender.

few years ago i had two historical knives coming from USA -paid a thousand for the both - got a letter from HM Customs to say they had been seized and were more or less destined for the oven- they were or so they told me ! even went to court over them to no avail -you can't beat HMC -broke my heart and changed my way of trading overseas on such items - i had done all the background on them -traced the original owner from WW2 - that was about the same time Ebay banned the sale of edged weapons
