I just picked this Luft2 up at the SOS.

I got it because it was an artificial Damascus blade, it had the late AWS TM, this is a different version of the mark than what we normally see with the lettering going across the blade instead of along the blade.

While it does not totally conform to what we expect to see on a Alcoso Luft2, I thought that the blade outweighed any concerns that I might have.

So, you tell me...

Nice looking blade John, Alcoso did use generic fittings late in the game and the AWS MM is the latest! Kevin.


It's ALL in the DETAILS!!.......
