Re: Identification of old Italian switchblade.

Do not do anything to your Frosolone - leave it just like it is. When you close the blade be sure to depress the firing button until the blade is seated in the well and then release the firing button - this will avoid unnecessary wear on the sear pin. Wayne

Re: Identification of old Italian switchblade.

The blade stamp on your knife is Flli Di Iorio -- Frosolone. "Flli" is short for the Italian word "Fratelli" which translates to "Brothers". They operated a very active shop in Frosolone and produced some very fine switchblades in the Frosolone style. Yours is a very nice example. Wayne

Quaero, thanks for posting your very beautiful knife and the associated information. What size is the one pictured ? I'm thinking 28cm ? In how many different sizes were the Maltese produced? Thanks
