Update on the Rizzi:

I have sent out inquiries to several companies in China and waiting for replies. Sent messages to manufacturers only. There is no patent on the knife so that won't be a problem. The really big problem is MOQ but that might be overcome with a very low price per unit.

I don't own one but I've been looking for a relatively affordable bali to start with and the Kimura looks like a really good knife. I like the lines of the handles and the blades. I think I will pick one up. Thanks for the heads up Vagrant. PVK, BladeOps and BladePlay sell them.

Sorry I love the Irish and know that in many cases the English have done them wrong; I will bless everyone else but the IRA, (at least the provisional IRA.) Fighting an honest war is one thing but I don't go in for terrorism. I agree with Catavengercaptain. I wasn't going to say anything but had to...

Mr. K that's how I feel. I'm ashamed of myself but I just can't help it. The devil made me do it. How could I refuse?

:lol: First let's just wait and see how Jmack does with his contacts. Maybe he can work some magic. Just spoke with my Chinese contact and she is looking into the Rizzis but while I was speaking to her I ordered some of these beauties. For personal use naturally. No way I'd sell one of these as the...

I'm serious BTB. The pics went to my knife company in China overnight. Waiting for a reply. 8) I figured you were probably being serious about sending the pics, but kidding about the logo part :wink: Did you send them pics of a Korean Rizzuto clone, or pics of an actual Rizzuto? An Asian clone of a...

Just tell them to slap on a Microtech logo on 'em. :P If you really could get some of your Chinese contacts to look into getting a Rizzuto style knife made in bulk that'd be great. Have them put batwing style guards on them. I'm serious BTB. The pics went to my knife company in China overnight. Wai...

You think I'm kidding don't you?

BTB I sent off pics to China to see if the Asian thing can happen. Let me know when you find an Italian who will make them and when you do send me a pic of their logo.

SOLD $300 BUCK DOLLARS!

Unbelievable!!!!!!

Personally I'd prefer a POC Chinese clone instead of a custom made Italian knife. The allure of the Rizutto is its nostalgia value not its quality. A decent clone would be fun. ( And I, as a seller of Chinese "quality products", would make a small fortune ).

I've seen a few autos on ebay lately. They got pulled before I could get to them. Couple I saw and the seller mentioned " nice snap ". To me that would indicate auto. I bid on a vintage lever but it got pulled.

3. This is big...the scales. Not the material of the scales, but the design. A Rizzuto has scales that are flush with the bolsters which COMPLETELY changes the look of the knife. Rizzutos are also more rounded and sexy while most of the Italian scales are very boxy.

Agree with you 110%!!!

$345 each. MT will be bringing out the Cobra for $400 dollars. Tactical black. I'm waiting for it to be available. BladeOps will have them.
