oh my god! shock horror! just wait till the guys at Britishblades forum see this.
no doubt they are battling to be first to report this monster to ebay.
best not get involved

I think it is the oringal scales but anything is possible. I have only seen black and white but I think I did hear about red from a few collectors....

And ONLY $148 [so far]
The prices people pay for these "oriental curiousities", amazes me

[Springmesser]

I do not know if your doing the seller any favors by linking his auction to this blade forum...where anti knife libs browsing this forum will see it and report it maybe

Never seen a green one either until doorman posted this one at sharperdeal...

[Sharperd]

I have seen Red , Green and also in Blue but they are harder to come by. The Black are more common followed by White ones .

Thanks for the update on the other colors. I guess the display cases in Mexico must have been quite colorful way back in the 1970s, with all these different color Rizzos and the Bullfighters....lol...Al, I agree these are WAY over priced. I don't think there is any issue with posting the link as just google switchblades and see what results you get....

That is very rare, partly due to it's size. I was aware they existed, although the only model I have seen is 9" inches OAL.
The smaller sizes come in purple and yellow/lime; neither are common either.

Another member once said "I wouldn't give you $15 for one". But, he later SOLD one for several times that
That's capitalism for you
I have NO PROBLEM with it but, reserve the right to be astonished at what this items sell for

Back in the early 1970s I tried to buy a green pearl handled Rizzuto during a visit across the border, but the tourist shop guy wouldn't budge on the price, so I ended up with a white pearl colored Rizzuto, that my Mom carried across the border for me.

[Tom19176]

It sold for $228.49 !!!!!!!!! Totally unreal !!!!

[javacupper]

WOW!
