Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Three Okapi knives, made in South Africa. The knives have no locking mechanism, simply a strong backspring. The knives were originally made in Germany for trade goods and use by colonists in Africa. Nowadays they're made in South Africa. They're known for being good cheap utility knives, and also common weapons of petty criminals. The rounded-nose knive is a "sailor's knife", as unpointed knives were required/preferred aboard ships both to prevent jabbing injuries due to the ship's motion, and to discourage stabbings.
Deutsch: Drei Okapi-Messer, hergestellt in Südafrika. Die Messer haben keinen Verriegelungsmechanismus, nur eine starke Feder. Die Messer wurden ursprünglich in Deutschland hergestellt und von Kolonisten in Afrika verwendet. Heutzutage werden sie in Südafrika hergestellt. Sie sind bekannt als gute billige Gebrauchsmesser und als weit verbreitete Waffen von Kleinkriminellen. Das Messer mit der abgerundeten Nase ist ein "Matrosenmesser", da an Bord von Schiffen Messer ohne Spitze erforderlich / bevorzugt waren, um Stichverletzungen aufgrund der Schiffsbewegung zu vermeiden. |
