OK, It looks like someone put the thing on a wheel grinder it is scratched and gouged to hell. Any helpful suggestions on who does good work?

I am lucky enough to have gotten my hands on a 13" Latama and an 11" M. Italy. Both knives have been poorly sharpened at some point. I know blades can be re-ground. I have chatted with Walt @ latama.net about the work. Who would the group recomend to work on a couple of nice old picklocks? chopper561

Yes it does look great, hard to shell out that kind of money without seeing it first hand though.

Anyone ever see that tang stamp? Looks to be an old Italian picklock. What is the story on A&B Cutlery?

I agree with you, sounds high, have you seen similar as shows? What were they going for? I am attending the Blade Show in Atlanta in a couple of weeks and was wondering what to expect price and quantity wise on good Italians.

There is a 13" Latama on an auction page that bidding starts at $1,000, buy out at $1,800, condition looks average to good. What would you expect to pay?

Hell, Thaks for letting me join. I am new to this, have a few Beltrames. What does a 13" Latama command in the market these days and where is the best place to look?
